Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

This June, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, recognise the contributions LGBTQ+ people make to our borough, and reaffirm our commitment to equality, inclusion and respect for all.

Together, we continue building a community where everyone can be themselves and feel they belong.

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.
