Service Delivery: 'You Decide!' 2009

You Decide! gave more than 800 Tower Hamlets residents the rare opportunity to choose how to spend £2.4 million on additional council services to benefit their local area.

Now the voting is over the work has begun to put the extra projects and services into place.

The council, police and Local Area Partnership Steering groups – made up of residents and councillors - have been working together to ensure the services are delivered to meet local people’s needs.

In September we undertook a thorough review of the first 6 months of each of the projects. You can see the whole report here:

As you can see all of the projects are either rated as green, amber or red. Green means that the service is right on track. Amber means that it is slightly off track but will meet its target by the end of the year if it continues as it is and red means that the project needs to be improved or in order to meet it's targets.

The finance is also rated in the same way with expectation that 100% of the funding will be spent by the 30th March next year. Some exceptions apply where projects started late and so have been extended so they can last a full year.

If you have any questions about the report or any of the services being provided through You Decide! in your local area please contact the you decide team at youdecide@towerhamlets.gov.uk or 020 7364 4572

All of these services are being monitored by your LAP Steering Group. For more information on your local LAP Steering Group click here.

Did You Know?

Unlike the rest of the projects, both the Police Officers and Drug Outreach Workers were funded for two years meaning they will be with us until mid-way through 2011; all because of the votes of local residents.
