Statement from Tower Hamlets Labour Group regarding the Election Petitions as at 11 October 2006

"The Labour Party has welcomed the decision made at the Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday 10 October, ruling out the challenges to the election results in several wards of Tower Hamlets, mounted by Respect/SWP. Since being elected on 4th May, the Labour councillors in St. Katharine's and Wapping, Mile End and Globe Town, St Dunstan's and Stepney Green and Bethnal Green South have worked tirelessly for local people. The ruling in court dismissing the petitions challenging the results of their elections now means that local people can be confident that their hard-working Labour councillors will continue to represent them and work on their behalf.
