Developments in Newham

These days, it seems there’s so much change and regeneration in Newham that it can be hard to keep track!

We thought we’d try to help, with our list of current developments, and details of any campaigns being run around/against them.

Please get in touch, or leave a comment below, if there’s a development or local campaign you think we’ve missed out. Or click through to find out more about our active campaigns, why we’re concerned and how you can get involved.
