(Jewish News) The government is set to appoint “ministerial envoys” to oversee Tower Hamlets Council after inspectors found a “toxic” political environment which included a failure to manage tensions caused by the on-going conflict in Gaza.
Decisions now made by the east London town hall will be monitored by a government-appointed envoy following a series of complaints and controversies under the borough’s independent executive mayor Lutfur Rahman.
A best value inspection of the London council, published on Tuesday, noted how: “Since 7 October 2023, some members of the small Jewish community have found the issue of Palestinian flags to be a major worry.”
