Sitting Councillor Rabina Khan and Simon Tunnicliffe have been chosen to stand for the Liberal Democrats in Shadwell for the May 2022 council elections.

St George’s Pool is a vital asset to our local community in St Katharine’s and Wapping.

At their Annual General Meeting on 6 October 2021, members of Tower Hamlets Liberal Democrats remembered Jonathan Fryer, local Lib Dem member and former candidate, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

UPDATE (14 April 2022)

Joined by residents, St Katharine's & Wapping candidates, Dominic Buxton and Mahbub Alam, presented our petition for a new riverboat service at Wapping Pier to Tower Hamlets Council on 16 March.

Following the meeting, we received a positive written response with the Council willing to “participate in an exercise to determine the potential costs and benefits of the proposal”.

As elected councillors, Dominic and Mahbub will keep working to bring a riverboat service to our community.

You told us you want a riverboat service in St Katharine’s and Wapping. We listened!

At present the service can only be accessed at Tower Pier or Canary Wharf.

We are sad to hear of the passing of Tim O'Flaherty.

On Thursday 6th May there is a referendum on how Tower Hamlets Council is run.
