The January edition of the Newham Mag is out now and being delivered across the borough to households and will be available in libraries.
The edition features a headline interview with Phyllis Akua Opoku-Gyimah, aka Lady Phyll - the inspirational pioneer who founded UK Black Pride and built it into a movement that is going from strength to strength. Newham is proud to have hosted UK Black Pride’s annual event at the Olympic Park last year and we continue to give our full support.
The Newham Mag is being delivered across the borough from Saturday 28 January. With a theme of hope, optimism and determination this edition includes information to keeping you safe and well; support during the Cost of Living crisis and to help keep you warm through the winter; our work to keep the borough clean and tidy and how we have involved residents in our budget setting process.
In this edition you will see stories on:
- Help to manage the cost of living crisis, including tips to stay warm and healthy.
- Our campaign to tackle the scourge of fly-tipping in the borough.
- How Newham is putting residents at the heart of the budget setting process.
- How Levelling Up funding from the Government is supporting two major inclusive growth programmes.
- How Newham residents, businesses and organisations can have their say on how Newham should be developed over the next 15 years through our Local Plan consultation.
- The Newham Civic Awards, celebrating those who have been instrumental in building a better Newham.
- A headline interview with Lady Phyll, on her pioneering work on racial equality and queer activism, and how to be a leader in a time of political and cultural upheaval.
- And lots more on the work Newham Council is doing to build a fairer Newham, and what’s happening in your borough.
