FOI Request - St George Flags

Request 101003856952

1) Can you tell me the council's position on the emergence of St George's flags on lamp-posts, roundabouts and elsewhere via non-official origins in the past few months?

2) By conducting a keywords search of the authority's email server, please tell me how many emails appear, separately, for each of the months of May, June, July and August 2025 when searching for the term 'English flag' or 'George's flag''.

3) By conducting a similar search for any occurence of the terms 'English flag' or 'George's flag' (use the search term 'English flag'OR'St George's flag' ) please can you provide for me an output of the contents of email exchanges on your server, redacted to ensure no personal information is included, starting with the most recent and going back as far as you can within the time and cost limits specified in the FOI Act - and not extending before 1st July 2025.

If you don't have a system capable of automatically redacting emails outputs, I believe this should be possible by conducting a search for emails on your server going back as far as 1st July, outputting all as a PDF and redacting the PDF(s) as far back as you can, then omitting all the pages which remain unredacted from your response.

If possible within the cost limits of the act after fulfilling the above questions, can you please also provide the contents of any minutes or discussions where the emergence of these flags on streets and roundabouts was discussed?
