Welcome to the Constitution of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Please check the top of the screen to make sure you are using the latest version (it will say if you aren't).
Navigation
Use the menu on the left to navigate around the content of the Constitution. You will see that most sections are collected into themed areas such as 'Members' and 'Officers'. If you need to find something specific you may also find the Search tool in the top left corner useful, it will show you specific words and phrases and where they appear in the Constitution.
Linking to the Constitution
If you select a particular paragraph you will see a yellow highlight to the left of the paragraph. When that appears you can copy the web link in your address bar and send it to someone and that will enable them to open and view exactly the same paragraph as you are viewing.
