Residents Survey 2025 – Results now available
We have finished our 2025 Residents Survey. More than 1,500 Newham residents shared their views on life in the borough. The survey took place between November and December 2025. An independent research company called M·E·L Research carried out the survey. They spoke to residents face to face. The people they spoke to reflect the wide mix of people who live in Newham. You can now read the full results below.
What did the survey find?
The survey shows how residents feel about:
- Life in Newham
- Council services
- Their local area
The results are also grouped by things like where people live, their age, and whether they have a disability. This helps us understand how experiences are the same or different across Newham.
