THCH and Poplar HARCA end partnership talks
Following extensive discussions, Poplar HARCA and THCH have decided not to progress the proposed partnership.

Steve Stride, Poplar HARCA’s CEO said: ‘We are obviously disappointed, as we firmly believe in the benefits a merger could bring to residents, and also both businesses.’
Both organisations remain committed to collaborating in the future to provide residents with the best possible services and remain committed to work together to address the housing challenges in Tower Hamlets.
