Lithium battery fires

Lithium batteries have caused fires in the rubbish lorries. Please do not put batteries in your waste or recycling bin. All batteries (including lithium batteries from e-bikes and e-scooters and other re-chargeable devices) can be taken to the Reuse and Recycling Centre at Northumberland Wharf.

Climate Partnership

The council alone cannot reduce the emissions of Tower Hamlets to net zero by 2045. So, in 2020 we created the Climate Partnership. This is chaired by the local NHS Trust and is made up of a variety of organisations, including:

  • businesses,
  • education,
  • faith groups,
  • housing associations, and
  • voluntary and public sector organisations.

Subgroups

To make sure any actions are delivered efficiently, the borough the Partnership has created 3 subgroups:

  • Innovation and Leadership
  • Research, Data and Intelligence
  • Greening, Growing and Biodiversity (Tower Habitats)

These subgroups will focus on these topics so that actions and projects can be identified and put in place to reduce emissions across the borough.
