A borough like no other
We are one of the fastest growing, young, and diverse boroughs in the country. We have over 351,000 people living in Newham and are the third fastest growing borough in London.
We are at the heart of a new inclusive economy. Our economy is becoming the place to work and invest. We are home to international districts like Royal Docks and Stratford. Stratford has also become the busiest station in the UK. These has helped us have the third highest rate of jobs growth in London.
Newham Council is a great place to work with a lot to offer. We celebrate our diversity as one of our greatest strengths and are committed to ensuring that the Council’s approach is inclusive and reflects the diversity of those that we serve.
The borough is undergoing considerable transformation and regeneration with developments and building works underway.
We are taking action and have mobilised a cost-of-living emergency response to mobilise our networks of voluntary organisations, businesses and stakeholders to get help to those in need. We are tackling inequalities by working with partners to expand enterprise zones and with businesses to increase the number becoming London Living Wage employers.
