Decision type: Key

Decision status: Abandoned

Wards affected: (All Wards);

Notice of proposed decision first published: 29/05/2014

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The Tower Hamlets Law Centre will close its operation if they do not receive short-to-medium term funding support by the end of May.

The organisation's (Tower Hamlets Law Centre) current cash-flow situation means that emergency funding is required quickly and there won't be time for them to wait for the decisions of outstanding funding bids, leaving no alternative to close the organisation. This will mean the loss of a crucial service for some of the boroughs most vulnerable residents.

Open/Exempt: Open;

Decision due: Not before 29th May 14 by Mayor's Executive Decision Making

Lead director: Corporate Director, Development & Renewal

Department: Development and Renewal
