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.

“One of the highlights of lockdown for me has been regularly visiting Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park. But the scene in the picture is one under threat from tall buildings in a proposed development next door. Sign the petition against it here:

Cllr James King, Limehouse ward
Cllr King has not been given a remunerated post by Executive Mayor John Biggs this year, so he is free to concentrate on campaigns such as the above issue which he promoted on Twitter.

Cllr King is one of the ten Labour Councillors who signed an open letter calling on Executive Mayor John Biggs not to proceed with “Tower Rewards”, the new terms and conditions which the Executive Mayor has just imposed on the Council workforce.
●Anyone wanting to send him a quick note of thanks for signing the open letter can contact Cllr King here:
