The Local Govt Chronicle website says that there is an impasse over appointing a Tower Hamlets Council Chief Exec. The Council's response from Lutfur Raham appears to dispute that. Labour Cllr Clare Harrison makes another iffy-so-so-

A High Court Judge condemns Tower Hamlets Council - about time and all

The East London Advertiser posted this news report in the last hour or so, bringing up to date
the picture of Tower Hamlets Council as it really is

"A top High Court judge has slammed two local authorities in east London tonight
for their “shameful” failure to help a desperate homeless couple and their two
children—including one with epilepsy."

The plight of this one family really represents those of so many that cannot be counted.

Contrary to the image that is often found of Tower Hamlets being in 'political' news, the truth is that day-to-day, the services that are delivered are poor and the contempt shown to those in need is, as the High Court said today, shameful.

Well done to Mike Brooke and the East London Advertiser for this prompt post.

Let’s hear more about such goings on.
