TO RECEIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE MAYOR, LEADER OF THE COUNCIL, MEMBERS OF THE CABINET OR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Decision: Please see minutes.
The Leader of the Council made an announcement regarding the recent resignation of the Chief Executive. The Mayor then invited the respective opposition group leaders each to put a question and a supplementary question on this matter to the Leader of the Council.
Minutes: Chief Executive’s resignation
The Mayor stated that he had received a request from Councillor Archer and other Councillors for an Extraordinary Council Meeting to discuss the resignation of the Chief Executive. Due to the proximity of the current meeting the Mayor did not consider it a good use of resources to call an additional meeting. However, recognising the interest of Members in this matter the Mayor would invite the Leader of the Council to make a statement and would then allow a brief period for questions from each of the Group Leaders.
The Monitoring Officer reminded Members that information relating to any individual or which was likely to reveal the identity of any individual, or that relates to the financial affairs of any particular person, or to any negotiations in connection with labour relations matters between the Council and its employees is by law exempt information and the public may be excluded from the meeting it if is likely that exempt information will be disclosed. All Councillors were bound by the Code of Conduct not to disclose confidential information. The fact that information given in confidence may have been improperly made public does not mean that it can be repeated in public. Confidential information may not be disclosed.
The Leader of the Council then made an announcement regarding the recent resignation of the Chief Executive. He stated that Members were now aware that the Council and the Chief Executive had come to a mutual agreement for the Chief Executive to leave his post. The Chief Executive had worked with great dedication, commitment and integrity during his time at Tower Hamlets and had championed the Council’s core values of achieving results; valuing diversity; engaging with others; and learning effectively. However, Tower Hamlets was always changing and the communities of the borough and the future challenges and direction of the organisation now required a fresh approach to accelerate the improvements and deliver the Council’s priorities around housing, education, tackling worklessness and creating a safer and cleaner borough for all. The Leader and the Chief Executive had therefore decided together that now was an appropriate time for him to move on from the organisation.
At the invitation of the Mayor the respective opposition group leaders then each put a question and a supplementary question on this matter to the Leader of the Council.

Minutes: DEPUTATIONS
5.1.1 Deputation re: Opposing cuts at Tower Hamlets College
At the invitation of the Mayor, Mr. Roberto Foth addressed the meeting in support of the deputation and re-iterated the negative impact the cuts would have on the community.
Mr. Foth responded to questions from Members of the Council.
Councillor Abdul Asad, Lead Member for Children, Schools and Families responded to the matters raised by Mr. Foth. He said the cuts had resulted from a shift in funding from the Learning and Skills Council so there was now limited funding across the board for Entry Level ESOL. However the Council and the College were continuing to discuss ESOL provision, which remained a priority for the borough, and work was continuing at the Joint Providers Forum and the Borough Employment Strategy Group.
Councillor Tim Archer MOVED and Councillor Peter Golds SECONDED “That under Rule 14.1.3, the order of business on the agenda be changed to allow the following emergency motion to be considered:-
‘That this Council resolves to take funds from reserves to ensure continuity of ESOL classes at Tower Hamlets College.’”
At this point more than ten Members rose to request a recorded vote.

TO RECEIVE WRITTEN QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PDF 29 KB (Maximum of 30 minutes allowed)
The questions which have been received are set out in agenda item 6. Decision: 6.1 Question from Mr. Terry McGrenera to the Lead Member for Housing and Development, Councillor Marc Francis re: council housing
The above question and an oral supplementary question were put by Mr. McGrenera and responded to by the Lead Member, Housing and Development
(Action by: Aman Dalvi, Corporate Director, Development and Renewal)
6.2 Question from Mr. Barry Blandford to the Lead Member for Housing and Development, Councillor Marc Francis re: Jubilee Crescent, Sheltered Housing Scheme

6.3 Question from Ms. Johanna Kaschke to the Lead Member for Children, Schools and Families, Councillor Abdul Asad re: holiday play centre provision
The above question and an oral supplementary question were put by Ms. Johanna Kaschke and responsed to by the Lead Member, Children, Schools and Families.
(Action by: Kevan Collins, Corporate Director, Children, Schools and Families)
Minutes: 6.1 Question from Mr. Terry McGrenera to the Lead Member for Housing and Development, Councillor Marc Francis
“In the light of the statement made by the Prime Minister earlier in the year about a return to council housing and the measures announced in the Budget, does the Lead Member for Housing regret the policies that this Council has pursued over the past decade and the trouble, grief and human and financial cost that it has caused to people in Tower Hamlets?”
Response by the Lead Member
The Council always welcomes any positive changes in Government housing policy.
Changes like the former Housing Minister’s direct intervention earlier this year to keep the rent increase for council tenants to an absolute minimum.
Something on which none of the parties opposite, or indeed the Green Party Mr McGrenera represents, had anything whatsoever to say.
Tower Hamlets continues to produce the largest number of new housing of any London borough.
1,000 social rented and intermediate properties in each of the past three years.
Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) play a central role in helping Tower Hamlets to achieve this level of housing development which directly benefits the boroughs many homeless and overcrowded households.
That said, LBTH is carrying out a root and branch review of affordable housing providers operating within the borough.
We anticipate adopting a more vigorous framework of engagement through the selection of preferred partners.
The last ten years have brought a number of successes through the Housing Choice programme (Large Scale Voluntary Transfers) -
· Active involvement of residents and tenants in the delivery of housing services and investments. · 2426 (60%) out of the 4077 non decent homes transferred to RSL from LBTH, have now been made decent. · £434.98 million of additional investment has been secured for works · £145.4 million of that additional funding having been now released for capital improvement of retained stock.
As Mr McGrenera knows – because he opposed this too – the council has more recently established an Arms Length Management Organisation - Tower Hamlets Homes.
This ALMO is designed to improve the quality of management of our remaining council housing and hopefully secure the funding necessary to bring those homes up to a Decent Standard too.
Finally, I can tell Mr McGrenera and colleagues in this Council Chamber that LBTH will be submitting an expression of interest to Government to try to secure some of the funding available to build NEW council housing.
This scheme would require us to match fund any investment we secure from Government, but Labour councillors are determined to explore every option to help solve the housing crisis facing our constituents.
Summary of supplementary question from Mr. McGrenera:
Why has it taken 12 years for the Government to reverse this damaging policy?
Summary of Lead Member’s response:
The Council is absolutely committed to addressing the needs of the people on the waiting list and will go beyond the measures already announced. Tower Hamlets will be making a bid for ... view the full minutes text for item 6. |

(Action by: John S. Williams, Service Head, Democratic Services)
Minutes: 7.1 Question from Councillor Fazlul Haque to the Lead Member for Employment and Skills, Councillor Oliur Rahman
Can the Lead Member for Employment and Skills tell us what progress has been made to improve partnership working with other public sector organisations to help our residents find work in these difficult times?
Response of the Lead Member:
Through the Tower Hamlets Partnership Structure the Council works in partnership with a number of other public sector agencies helping our local residents to find work. This includes through the Employment Task Group, a sub group of the Prosperous Communities Delivery Group, which engages organisations such as Job Centre Plus, Tower Hamlets College, the Education Business Partnership, NHS etc.
This group has agreed actions in response to current issues such as graduate unemployment and is maturing as a partnership.
The Council is also working with the other Olympic Host Boroughs (Greenwich, Newham, Hackney and Waltham Forest) and the Department of Work and Pensions, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and the Treasury to develop a Multi Area Agreement which seeks a range of policy freedoms and flexibilities and new approaches to joint working to improve the employment chances for local people and employment outcomes for the Borough.
Summary of supplementary question from Councillor Fazlul Haque:
Can the Lead Member assure members that performance will be looked at robustly and that clear SLA targets will be set and monitored to ensure that those people who need help receive it?
Summary of Lead Member’s response:
I assure you and the Chamber that performance will be monitored vigorously. The Council has also bid to the future jobs fund in order to create further new jobs for local residents.
7.2 Question from Councillor Rupert Eckhardt to the Lead Member for Housing and Development, Councillor Marc Francis
Would the Lead Member for Housing and Development confirm how many cases have been brought by developers for return of Section 106 contributions that has failed to be spent by the Council in a timely manner have been brought forward and/or settled and what are the sums of money involved?
Response of the Lead Member:
The Council closely monitors received Section 106 contributions in order to ensure that they are effectively spent within the required timeframe.
To date, NO financial contributions have been repaid to developers by the Council.
LBTH regularly receive requests for information about how specific Section 106 contributions have been spent.
To date only one such request, from over 100 received during the past 12 months, has concerned a contribution which has not been utilised within the agreed timeframe.
This was the Norway Wharf development in Limehouse.
This case is unusual and concerns a financial contribution with an extremely short timeframe for spend, around 12 months from the date received.
Due to externalities, which were unforeseeable when the Section 106 Agreement was finalised, the financial contribution could not be spent in the manner detailed by the Agreement despite exhaustive efforts by the Council.
