A WOMAN is hoping to be able to fly the national flag in her local village.

Cynthia Ball has asked Middleton St George Parish Council if a flagpole showing the England flag can be erected somewhere in the village.

She said: "I think there should be a flag somewhere - let's be proud of our heritage.

"The village is big enough to have two flagpoles."

The council agreed it was something that could be looked into.

Chairwoman Doris Jones said: "I agree - just last St George's Day I was saying that we don't have a flag and we're called St George village."
