Council Scoops Funding From Government Scheme

Tower Hamlets has secured over £24 million from the government's New Homes Bonus scheme for 2015.

Between 2011 and 2015, Tower Hamlets has increased its housing stock by 14,547 and brought 769 empty homes back into use.


Aman Dalvi, Corporate Director of Development and Renewal said: "Once again the government has recognised the hard work that we do, day in day out, to build affordable housing for the people in this borough."

Since the creation of the New Homes Bonus scheme in 2010, Tower Hamlets has secured over £70 million in funding over five financial years.

The borough has received the most funding than any other local authority.
