Waste service strike

A number of Tower Hamlets Council frontline waste service workers and street cleansers will be going on strike from 18 September to 1 October due to a national pay dispute.  

Despite the council working to maintain services for residents, the strike will impact collections and cleansing across the borough. We apologise in advance for the disruption this will cause.

Early learning and Childcare information for Schools

Children aged three and four are entitled to government childcare funding. The Council is delighted that head teachers are considering a wider early learning offer. To support this, the IEYS has developed advice covering the areas requested by head teachers and their staff.

Please note that head teachers and governors must decide on the best way of providing early learning places for their school. It is important to carry out effective business planning, including a robust market analysis which considers local childcare provision.
