TOWER Hamlets' Lib Dem parliamentary candidates launched their election campaign last night as they pledged to "create a fairer" borough.

Bethnal Green and Bow MP candidate Ajmal Masroor and Poplar and Limehouse candidate Jonathan Fryer set out their manifesto at the Sonorgaon Restaurant in Osborne Street.

Their key priorities include tackling overcrowding and dealing with the borough's housing shortage.

"And by reversing the overcrowded social housing that has been allowed by the Labour council.
