Islington Council admits tree sign ‘error’. A council has warned residents not to attach objects to trees - in a notice attached to a tree. Islington Council said the poster in Highbury Fields, north London, had been put up “in error” by a junior worker. It read: “Please do not attach or affix any structures or objects to the park furniture and trees at Highbury Fields including the benches and lamp posts.” A council spokesman said it had now moved the notice to a nearby noticeboard. The sign led to “laughter, grumpiness and indignation,” said Nadi Jahangiri
