Councillor says England flags on Coventry crossing are 'disrespectful'

Red spray-painted lines on a Coventry crossing representing the English flag have been slammed as 'disrespectful.' Councillor Ant Tucker condemned the 'wonky' markings on Earlsdon Street.

Cllr Tucker, of the Labour Party, said the red spray-painted lines have 'defaced' the crossing near The City Arms. He emphasised that the crossing exists for pedestrian safety, not as a platform for political messaging.

He said he has requested the Earlsdon crossing be cleaned as a 'priority.' Coventry City Council was approached about England flags appearing across the city.
