Coincidentally, the last time Council Tax was frozen in Tower Hamlets was in 2006, also an election year.

Only days apart from each other we learnt that the Audit Commission has criticised the Labour-run Tower Hamlets council for the way it sacked its chief executive and the size of the bill that resulted and that there will be no increase in council tax next year.

Tower Hamlets residents are set to see a 1.69 per cent rise in their council tax this year.

The ruling Labour party's budget was approved at last week's special budget meeting, increasing the Band D tax from £1,175.46 to £1,195.34.
