Erewash decided to fly the Union Flag outside the Civic Offices at Ilkeston and Long Eaton on a regular basis not as previously, just on special occasions. At the time I asked Councillor Corbett to make sure the Flag was kept in good condition. He assured me it would be. I hate to see our Flag degraded by being dirty or damaged. Many months ago I wrote in a complaint to Erewash about the poor state of the Flag at Long Eaton asking for a new one to be raised. Despite my complaint the Flag has been left tattered and looking dirty. Erewash should be ashamed to treat our Flag so disrespectfully. So much for Councillor Corbett's assurances.
