Description

Tower Hamlets Council faces significant concerns, with an external auditor warning of significant weaknesses that could lead to ongoing government intervention. The auditor, EY, identified ten key problems, including high staff turnover and social housing management issues. The councils leadership is criticized for being defensive, while the report suggests a more realistic view is needed. The council is also slow to find a permanent chief finance officer. The report gives Tower Hamlets a C three grade, with many issues persisting for years. The situation is sensitive due to Mayor Luftur Rahmans past ban for corrupt practices.
