Flag is finally lowered from over Wisbech Town Council chambers

The Union Flag has finally been removed from over Wisbech Town Council chambers after complaints about the state of the cloth.

The removal on Thursday was carried out by council contractor Tristan South of Total Solutions, who took a short break from putting up the town's Christmas lights to lower the flag.

Town clerk Terry Jordan explained: "We know some people have been unhappy about the tatty state of the flag, but unfortunately it is not a straight forward job to get it put up and taken down.
