Brighton scaffolders wrap job in Ukrainian flag

A team of scaffolders from Brighton have shown support for Ukraine as the unprovoked war continues in the country.

Workers from Yates scaffolding have wrapped one of their latest jobs in blue and yellow netting to mirror the Ukrainian flag. The huge netting flag covers the full scaffold erected for refurbishment work on a pub in London Road, Brighton.

Speaking to The Argus, Alfie Yates founder of Yates Scaffolding said: “A project in the centre of Brighton like that, we thought we’d do a little tribute for all the Ukrainian people living in our city.”

“It’s just a nice little touch.”

The pub is one of the first landmarks people see when travelling into the city.

“We had to order the ‘Brighton stands with Ukraine’ banner on the front. But we didn’t want to upset anybody, so I did have to ask the painter and the landlord of pub, and they ok’d it and said it was really good.”

The project took approximately 12 days to complete and has already received a fantastic response from residents, and people visiting the area.

It will remain in place for around six weeks for the duration of the outer refurbishment.
