*EDIT* To answer some of your questions.
The flags always come down this time of year and the reason is to prevent them from being damaged by the weather as we enter Autumn and Winter. We all agree they look lovely through the warmer months but it is disrespectful to leave them up and allow them to become ripped and frayed as a result of the weather. Any torn flags will be replaced and will be put back up for Remembrance Day. It doesn't cost WTC anything to put them up or take them down as it has, and always will be part of our grounds maintenance team's schedule, just like every other year, we aren't paying someone to take them down. When the flags are taken back down after Remembrance Day, the Christmas trees will be put up at the same time - same as every other year.
To be clear, we are only talking about the flags that hang on the High Street and King Street, we are not responsible for any other flags in the town nor do we have the authority to remove any flags that are not our own.
We have received many complaints and comments about the flags both for and against so we will never be able to please everyone. We just want to make it clear that we are just following our usual schedule and to assure residents we are not influenced by external factors.
Wigton Town Council are only responsible for our own land and buildings, we are not responsible for potholes or bin collections etc, these are local authority issues. If you need to make a report, you can do so by calling 0300 373 3730 or going to the Cumberland Council's website www.cumberland.gov.uk
🏴FLAG UPDATE 🏴
We wanted to let you know that our Union Jack flags will be coming down during the week commencing 15th September.
This is part of our usual yearly routine and isn’t connected in any way to the current discussions about St George’s flags being raised around the country.
Our Union Jacks will be flying proudly again for Remembrance Sunday, before being taken down until next year as normal.
Wigton Town Council isn’t a political party – our decisions are simply about looking after the town and following our regular schedule.
Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to support everything we do for our community. ... See MoreSee Less

*UPDATE*
Contractors have been onsite this morning to cut up the tree, leaving the rounds to one side while they went for some lunch. It is disappointing to learn that while they were sat in the car park at Wigton Baths, someone decided to throw all the cut up rounds into the beck. This is a waste of public money as the contractors now have to spend more time fishing the wood out of the beck. This was totally unnecessary!
Please be aware that the path from Wigton Baths leading into Speet Gill, up to the wooden bridge will be closed on several occasions this week. A large tree has fallen across the beck and path, and a team will be onsite with machinery to remove it. The closures are necessary for public safety.
Thank you. ... See MoreSee Less
