TOWER HAMLETS COUNCILLORS: what are they like? The hot topic in the Borough is the decision of Executive Mayor John Biggs to impose new contracts (“Tower Rewards”) on the Council workforce.  Do Labour Councillors back him or not? Ten councillors have signed an open letter asking him to think again.  Thirty-one have not.  It’s time we got to know our councillors a bit better, so this month we’ll be sharing some quotes from Labour’s public representatives.

“Litter picking in VP is really satisfying. Kudos to the organisers I’m planning to go. Bring gloves and mask.”
Cllr Val Whitehead, Bow West, Twitter, 9th July

Cllr Whitehead hasn’t signed the Councillors’ letter to Executive Mayor John Biggs about Tower Rewards – perhaps because, according to this Tweet, she is happy enough to do Council workers’ jobs herself.
