Police say an investigation is now underway to find out who put it up.
In
his letter to recently re-elected Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman, the
MP for Poplar and Limehouse said: 'I have no idea whether this was
posted by the EDL, Islamists or another organisation. Regardless, this
is a highly divisive sign.
'I am writing to request an investigation.
'I would also like to know what the council is currently doing to prevent signs like this from appearing.'

Tower Hamlets police said: 'The material has been taken down and a crime report completed for further investigation.'
A
Tower Hamlets Council spokesman said: 'We have been alerted to a
fly-poster stuck on a sign post near Bartlett Park, E14. We have removed
it and are liaising with the police to investigate this alarming and
divisive poster.
'The
council actively promotes the No Place for Hate campaign whereby people
of different faiths, cultures, lifestyles and backgrounds live in
harmony. This means we support community cohesion and would not want the
actions of any individual or small group to impact on this.'

〔本報訊〕英國倫敦東部的巴特利特公園（Bartlett Park）近日遭張貼警告標語，要求不可在公園遛狗，因為這裡是「伊斯蘭教徒」的地盤，穆斯林不喜歡狗，而英國工黨國會議員菲茨帕特里克（Jim Fitzpatrick）也寫信向倫敦市塔橋區區長投訴，目前警方正在調查是誰張貼這則訊息。

History
St Saviour's Church remains in the centre of park, surrounded by a single row of self-build housing.[2] The park named in honour of Prebendary Philip M. Bartlett, who died in 1958 and had been vicar of the Church for 39 years.[3] St. Saviour's was almost destroyed by fire on 25 May 2007,[4] but the shell remains since it is a Grade II listed building.[5]Tower Hamlets Council undertook a public consultation on regeneration of the park in May–June 2012.[6] The masterplan includes improved connections to the Limehouse Cut.[7]
Transport
London Buses Route 309 serves the park.References
