City Council&#x27;s decision was &quot;ludicrous and crazy&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>The council warned &quot;no bunting is to be strung from telegraph poles&quot;, the Daily Star reported. <\/p>\n<p>It insisted bunting attached elsewhere &quot;must be at least 5.5 metres from the ground and of an easily-breakable nature, so if a fire engine comes through, the bunting doesn\u2019t become a hazard\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Bunting on lampposts is also banned in Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<h3><span>READ MORE ON JUBILEE PARTIES<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

residents in Sheerness, on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, complained after the decorations were put up along the High Street to mark the Queen\u2019s 70 year reign.<\/p>\n<p>Those living above the shops
