Tower Hamlets councillor proposes new council for Canary Wharf

Independent Conservative Tower Hamlets councillor Andrew Wood says he has been speaking to local residents about the possibility of giving the Isle of Dogs its own council. "If you’re going to have an area like Manhattan on the Isle of Dogs you need something from local government to respond to the development of a Manhattan-type area", he told the Local Democracy Reporting Service. "Outside of London it’s very common to have three layers of local government. It’s not in London, this is different and unusual for London, but outside of London this is very common".
