Response
Under Section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act, we have established that this information is not held. This is because Dover District Council have not removed any British flags from public property. The majority of street lamp posts within our District are the responsibility of Kent County Council who are the highway authority. You will need to contact them about any spending they have incurred in respect of property within their ownership. Kent County Council can be contacted at freedomofinformation@kent.gov.uk.
