Tower Hamlets Council should take action to stop this from happening .

Jeory on transparency

Ted Jeory has his say on transparency in Tower Hamlets .

New spin doctor

It is a disgrace that Tower Hamlets can pay this much for a new spin doctor whilst cutting essential services .

First Labour budget since 2010

Amazing considering that Tower Hamlets should be a Labour stronghold .

Newham corruption

As a resident of Tower Hamlets I know all about corruption. However people are innocent until proven guilty .

Air ambulance

It's a good thing than that it is based in Tower Hamlets .

London City sold

Let's hope that it fails for the sake of people in Newham and Tower Hamlets .

A social housing idea

After hearing all the housing association horror stories in Tower Hamlets. I am lucky to be with a good one. I have an idea. What we need is a social enterprise like Property Partner that buys properties in the open market and rents them out at social rents. All the people who give money along with the tenants have voting rights. The property will never be sold but rented out.

Budget passed

Tower Hamlets Mayor John Biggs has got his way .

EU agency in Tower Hamlets

I never knew that this EU agency was based in Tower Hamlets .

Hackney Citizen on merger

Hackney Citizen has a article on the merger with Tower Hamlets.

Lutfur to be struck off

This short article about the former Tower Hamlets Mayor misses one point he may not be struck off .

I don't think I have seen a officer on the streets of Tower Hamlets. Seen them wasting time on buses .

CCTV blindspots

I had no idea there was that many blindspots in Tower Hamlets .

They are bad for Tower Hamlets .

About time

This hearing of the former Tower Hamlets Mayor should have happened ages ago .

Mob rule in Tower Hamlets

Lutfur Rahman may have gone as Mayor of Tower Hamlets but the politics of the mob is alive and well in Tower Hamlets .

Judge is right

This Tower Hamlets woman should know better .

Four trainee solicitors

It's nice to see that Tower Hamlets is recruiting 4 new members of the legal team. Waste of money .

FE Week on Merger

FE Week does not have much to say about the merger of Hackney and Tower Hamlets .

Tissue bank

Good to see that this important development is happening in Tower Hamlets .

Planning permssion granted

If members of Tower Hamlets Council felt strongly than they should have objected. Tower Hamlets Council grants applications to too many things .

Super college

The new college created by the merger of Tower Hamlets and Hackney will be a super college but there are plenty of them in the UK .

College merger

We will wait and see what changes happen to Tower Hamlets and Hackney .

Sainsbury's expansion

Is this good for Tower Hamlets or not ?

Rahman court cases

Peter Golds has a good article on the failed court cases of former Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman .

Christine Shawcroft

Andrew Gilligan has a lot to say in this article but the residents of Tower Hamlets will be most likely only interested in Christine Shawcroft who was (not sure if still is a) trustee of former Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman's legal fund. Where has the money gone ?

Wood on development

Andrew Wood is a rising political star in Tower Hamlets .

Award winner

I did not know that this award was held in Tower Hamlets .

HSBC to stay

Good news for Tower Hamlets .

I love Crash Course. The children of Tower Hamlets would benefit a lot from it considering the lack of quality educaiton in some schools .

Police look for man

They are looking for him in relation to a burglary which took place in a shop in Tower Hamlets .

Let's hope that it encourages more students from Tower Hamlets to go to university .

Landlord licensing

With this Tower Hamlets is moving in the right direction .

Another talking shop

Tower Hamlets Council seems to have a lot of talking shops .

Bus service changes

We don't need changes to routes. What we instead need is more buses and routes for Tower Hamlets .

New homes promised

The question is can Tower Hamlets deliver ?

The politics of change

This is beyond ugly politics. A woman convicted of electoral fraud and a supporter of former Tower Hamlets Myaor Lutfur Rahman has such a key post in Labour .

Money for homeless

Let's hope that former Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman does not get any of this .

Shahed Ali on housing

After reading the headline I did read the article to be honest. The language used by corrupt Tower Hamlets Councilor Shahed Ali put me off. He like Alibor, Rania Khan and the rest of the Tower Hamlets First lot needs to learn some manners .

Biggs on council tax rise

Tower Hamlets Mayor John Biggs defends council tax rise .

Terrible news

Andrew Gilligan one of the people who exposed the former Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman as well as "Trojan horse" in Birmingham is now exposing the people trying to undermine Prevent .

Council tax rise agreed

This is not exactly news. Tower Hamlets really had no choice .

River crossings

Very important to some people living in Tower Hamlets .

Good thing

Why is Tower Hamlets doing this? It should be done by DWP and third sector .

Support good causes

Not much is going on in Tower Hamlets so you can support good causes for free .

Gifts and donations

It would be interesting to see. Tower Hamlets College does not appear to have any information on this on the website .
