said there was a culture where decisions were taken based on advice from a small number of people who were trusted by the directly-elected mayor, Lutfur Rahman.The envoys will mentor, monitor and oversee the council's improvement work but a final decision has not yet been made on whether they will be appointed.

Tower Hamlets council said it looked forward to working with the envoys and thanked the government "for recognising the progress we have made as an authority".The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government's minister Jim McMahon said he would consider any representations from the council and other interested parties before deciding.Tower Hamlets council is run by Rahman, a member of the Aspire political party.

He has had a controversial career in local politics: he was elected to the council in 2002 as a Labour candidate and was the first directly-elected mayor of Tower Hamlets from October 2010 until April 2015.He was removed from the mayoralty and suspended from public office by an election court that found there had been "corrupt and illegal practices" under his watch.

The court also found grants had been allocated inappropriately to some organisations, canvassers on his behalf had been paid and he had brought "undue spiritual influence" to bear on the Muslim voters who backed him.
