The Telco event was an opportunity to listen to the policies he's drawn up on the 'Living Wage', 'City Safe' and Housing issues, as well as why he will be the best person to be Mayor of Tower Hamlets. He met with Telco's other membership organisations' representatives from Tower Hamlets Unison, Queen Mary College and Metropolitan University Students, Church and Mosque Faith organisations and Tenants Management Organisations.
He promised to build on the many positive things he achieved for the Borough when he was Council Leader. He has also promised to find the means to complete the refurbishment of the Poplar Baths, Victoria Park and the Bancroft Road Local History Library. He will also ensure the Bethnal Green WW2 'Tube' disaster memorial is built.

The Mayoral candidates are:

Lutfur Rahman (Independent)
Alan Duffell (Green Party)
John Griffiths (Liberal Democrat Party)
