Have your say on housing in Tower Hamlets

Tower Hamlets Council is creating a Housing Strategy 2025-35 to shape the future of housing in Tower Hamlets over the next decade. The vision is simple: More Homes, Better Homes, Safer Homes.

A draft strategy is available now for people to comment on and provide their views through a short online consultation.

The draft strategy focuses on seven key priorities:

1. Tackling Overcrowding: Building new homes, making better use of existing ones and working with local services to tackle overcrowding.
2. Building More Homes: Delivering more homes to buy and rent than anywhere else in London – fast, ambitious, and affordable.
3. Looking After Council Homes: Investing in upgrades, improving services, and putting residents at the heart of housing management.
4. Making Private Renting Better: Supporting private renters with safer, fairer, and more secure homes.
5. Better Together: Strengthening partnerships to improve social and affordable housing across the borough.
6. Preventing Homelessness: Acting early to reduce homelessness and reliance on temporary accommodation.
7. Inclusive Housing for All: Designing homes that reflect the diverse needs of our community – from families to older people and disabled residents.

Take part in the consultation before 5pm on Friday 12 December at https://towerhamlets.govocal.com/en-GB/projects/housing-strategy
