OF TOWER HAMLETS
If elected, in the 10 days after
taking office I will:
1. Ensure local residents get a
real say on planning and are
able to stand up to strip clubs
and chicken shops; I will relocate
all future planning and licensing
meetings to the area affected.
2. Meet with the Police Borough
Commander and as many Safer
Neighbourhood Team Sergeants
as are available, cutting crime is a
vital part of my agenda.
3. Shut down East End Life,
saving £2million by axing council
propaganda.
4. Meet with a Cabinet minister
to discuss the challenges facing
our borough. Only a Conservative
mayor can get to the heart of
government.
5. Set out a timetable for the
council to leave Anchorage
House, it is time to give back the
keys to this £8m a year property.
6. Put any council expenditure
above £500 on the internet for
all to see, we deserve to know
how our taxes are spent.
7. Send independent auditors
into the Housing department, to
ensure fairness and clarity.
8. Scrap Labour’s plans to

double the population of some
wards and build on our green
space, by withdrawing their core
development strategy.
9. Freeze all council advertising
campaigns, especially the
wasteful £170,000 „photos on
lampposts‟ campaign.
10. Arrange the first public
Mayoral question time, so local
people can hold me to account.

Hamlets, and will make a great mayor.”

NEIL’S CONTRACT
WITH TOWER
HAMLETS
If elected as Mayor, I will always
be responsive to those I
represent.
If you put your trust in me, you
deserve to know how I will go
about running our borough.
I will firmly adhere to the
following principles when in
office, that is my contract with
you:
I will treat all sections of the
community equally and not
prioritise any group above
another.
I will never vote myself or my
cabinet a pay rise.
I will hold regular question times
so that members of the public
can quiz me directly.
I will always put jobs, education
and crime reduction at the top of
my agenda.
I will continue to live in the
borough throughout my term of
office.
I will stick up for the Borough that
is my home, in City Hall and
Whitehall.
Council appointments and
contracts will be awarded on
merit and for no other reason.
