THE Tory Shadow cabinet at Tower Hamlets council in East London announced today has fired its first warning shot at the new Labour Town Hall administration that it will fight 'waste and inefficiency.'
Council Opposition leader Peter Golds has been re-elected unopposed. He also takes on the Culture & Heritage brief.
"Our intention is to provide a constructive opposition in Tower Hamlets with a strong and experienced team," he told the East London Advertiser today.
"We will support the administration where we believe that it is following policies to the advantage of residents.
"But we will seek to hold them to task where we find there is waste and inefficiency."
He added: "These are difficult times and the council and the country at large face enormous problems, particularly finance."
