Finance officers today confirmed that not only will Tower Hamlets Council get a £36.6 million increase in grant funding in 2026/27, but that similar increases are lined up for '27/28 and '28/29 too. Overall, that's a 1/3 increase in grant funding since the Labour Govt was elected
Tower Hamlets will receive an extra £36.6m this year in new government funding under Labour’s Fair Funding reforms. This is direct investment from government – correcting years of Tory underfunding and reflecting the real needs of our borough.👇 https://t.co/SJqfEgZbOV

Labour is ending the Conservative Party’s callous cuts to local government. We are putting more money into cleaner streets, thriving high streets, libraries and roads. That is the difference a Labour Government makes.
