The two Cabinet members announced today will support the Mayor in advancing her agenda on sustainable transport, better roads, fairer parking and improved health outcomes for residents.
The previously announced posts are aligned to her priorities around addressing the housing crisis by creating genuinely affordable homes at social rent levels, promoting youth safety, ensuring continued improvements in education, delivering regeneration that involves and benefits local people, and promoting open and transparent decision making.
The Mayor added: “Our residents can be confident that they are able to shape our priorities and be able to hold me, my Cabinet colleagues and councillors to account. It represents a bold vision for Newham Council. Resident engagement, transparency and accountability will be the hallmark of my administration.”
