complaints regarding the alleged antisemitism of Mear One's mural in Hanbury Street 2012

The request was partially successful.

Dear Tower Hamlets Borough Council,

In 2012 in Hanbury Street off Brick Lane the street artist Mear One aka Kalen Ockerman painted a mural "Freedom for Humanity" which was later destroyed after complaints. Can you please notify and release the relevant papers and those notified. In particular, please notify and release any correspondence between Councillor Peter Golds and Stephen Halsey. Please also let me know if the Communities Secretary (Eric Pickles) was kept informed of any of the relevant data over the period dating from September 2012 to June 2016. Did the Communities Secretary (or what is now the MHCLG) show any interest in this case? When? What exactly?

Yours faithfully,

Chris Friel
