Tower Hamlets residents don’t just get a chance to vote for the next Mayor of London and London Assembly on 6 May, 2021 but also to say how we would like Tower Hamlets Borough Council to be run in future.
A referendum on the executive governance model the council will use will ask us:
How would you like Tower Hamlets Borough Council to be run?
• By a mayor who is elected by voters. This is how the council is run now.
OR
• By a leader who is an elected councillor chosen by a vote of the other elected councillors. This would be a change from how the council is run now.
