​In Tower Hamlets, the council is focused on the following objectives for the borough.
  • Empowerment: People are aspirational, independent and have equal access to opportunities
  • Community Spirit: Creating a borough that residents are proud of and love to live in
  • Democracy: Encourage participation in local democracy and representation on various bodies and in our processes, from people who may normally feel free excluded from, or underrepresented in, our decision-making
If you're working on something that fits into any of these areas in Tower Hamlets, we want to support you.
