A Great Place to Live

We can all help to achieve this by:

Committing to Tower Hamlets’ fight against climate change by reducing the amount of energy and water used in the home, cutting back on waste and recycling wherever possible
Taking pride in, and responsibility for, community facilities such as local open spaces for the benefit of everyone
Being considerate of others by not littering - and by reporting problems like antisocial behaviour and graffiti
Supporting local business and enterprise initiatives by shopping locally – including using Tower Hamlets’ vibrant markets
Recognising what new and existing communities have in common - and valuing the borough’s diversity
Getting involved in our community – perhaps by volunteering to help a local organisation or group
For those building in the borough – by prioritising environmental sustainability and quality design

And make One Tower Hamlets by:-

improving access to facilities and services that exist in different parts of the borough
thinking about how our actions affect our neighbours – and taking tough decisions when it comes to personal responsibility for things like not using cars, turning off lights and not dropping litter
engaging communities in important decisions so that choices are made with the community, not on their behalf
using culture, leisure and sport to bring together communities across all ages and backgrounds
ensuring the built environment is designed to high quality standards so it is inclusive and safe for all
helping people to get decent homes

There are more ways than ever for you to tell us what you think!
