Notice on tree instructs locals not to put notices on trees

A British council has put a note on a tree asking residents to refrain from doing just that.

Islington Council attached the notice to the tree to encourage people to respect the park - but one resident was angered when he saw what the local authority had done.

Nadi Jahangiri - an architect who lives nearby - said: "A lot of people have been putting signs up on the trees about lost cats and so on with drawing pins - it really annoys me.

"I walked up to it to rip it down, only to find it was telling people not to attach anything to trees!"
