Pass legislation to ban paramilitary flags, to regulate the flying of flags in shared areas, outside schools and hospitals, and to ensure any flags flown are taken down again in a timely manner.
Why is this important?
Every summer, flags go up on lampposts across Northern Ireland. They hang around for months becoming an eyesore, and many glorify illegal paramilitary groups.
This year we've seen an increase in flags in shared areas like the Westlink motorway, at supermarkets and outside the PSNI training centre at Garnerville. No one takes responsibility to take them down.
The flying of flags needs to be clearly legislated for so the issue can be tackled once and for all.
