Back in May, Mayor Forhad Hussain was elected by the people as the Mayor of Newham.

Mayor Forhad shared:

"It has been a privilege to spend these first 100 days serving the borough I grew up in and where I have chosen to raise my family. I was elected by the people of Newham, and every day I am focused on delivering the improvements you have told me matter most. While I live in one part of our borough, I am proud to represent every resident and every neighbourhood across Newham."

We’re aware some bins have been left behind on Upton Park Road while Thames Water works are taking place.

Our Waste team has been on the case, collecting them today.

Don't forget - it’s also a Bank Holiday weekend, so collection days will change to one day later than usual.
