Posters telling women which side of the road they should walk on have been removed after complaints to a local council.

The posters, written in Hebrew and English, appeared in the Stamford Hill area of north London, home to a large community of strictly Orthodox Jews.

They read "Women should please walk along this side of the road only".

According to reports, Shomrim, the volunteer community security group, said the posters were put up ahead of a Torah parade.
