Last week, Mayor Forhad Hussain, broke ground at Pier Road in North Woolwich, marking the start of construction on a new 350-home neighbourhood.

Delivered by Populo Living and The Hill Group, the development will provide 127 Social Rent homes for households on Newham’s waiting list, helping more residents access affordable housing.

The new riverside neighbourhood will also include 800sqm of maker space for local creatives, a café, public gardens, a resident courtyard and children’s play areas.

With the first homes expected to be completed in 2029, Pier Road is an important step towards creating more affordable homes and vibrant communities for Newham residents.

🌟 Today marks the start of National Volunteers’ Week! 🌟

This Volunteers’ Week, why not give back and make a real impact - just like Eric, who has been volunteering for a number of years, and the many others who have dedicated their time to supporting local residents. 💛

Whether you can give one hour or more, every contribution counts towards Newham’s 1000 Hour Challenge.

“I’m supporting a vulnerable member of the community and, at my ripe old age, it gives me an excuse to leave the house.” — Eric

Eric made a difference last year. You can too.

Last week, Mayor Forhad Hussain joined residents, ward councillors and council officers for a walkabout in Custom House.

He listened to local concerns, saw issues first-hand and identified where action is needed, which is vital to delivering real change in Newham.

Thank you to everyone who shared their views and ideas.

Do you have a suggestion with where Mayor Hussain should go next? Let us know!

Newham Libraries Public WiFi, Internet Access and Printing.

We’re currently experiencing technical issues affecting public Wi-Fi and internet access in Newham libraries.

At the moment, computer internet access, printing and public Wi-Fi are unavailable. Our libraries are still open, and staff are on hand to help with other services.

We know this is frustrating and we’re working as quickly as we can to get everything back online.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding while we fix the issue.
