Newham Sue

Delighted to announce @UKLabour Newham’s initial pledges for our May council elections - some Old favourites return with an exciting new neighbourhood focus on addressing core issues

Our NHS was built on care, not corporate contracts. I’ve signed to stop the Palantir deal and keep control of NHS data in public hands. Join me 👇 the.organise.network/campaigns/netw…

Get ready for the Local and Mayoral Election on May 7. Don’t lose your vote! Make sure you are registered to vote, and if you need a postal or proxy vote - now is the time! You can get all the information you need here at orlo.uk/V1GNR

Tonight at full council @CllrSarahRuiz shared how Newham's Children's Services have been rated by Ofsted as outstanding, and all of our schools are good or outstanding. Labour has been building a fairer Newham working to give our young people the best possible start in life!

🚨Easter waste and recycling collection changes🚨 Waste and recycling collection days will change over Easter, starting Friday 3 April. Please check the updated schedule ❗️ Our waste teams work incredibly hard to keep Newham clean, safe and welcoming 🏠✨

Such a loss that you are standing down

Last full Council tonight for me - 8 years ( plus14). It has been a privilege representing Custom House - and proudly leading Children’s Services from Inadequate to Outstanding. Stepping down but still a resident watching with interest!!!

After years of Tory austerity, we’re backing councils to fix the basics - with a new £18 million fund to make sure kids have somewhere safe to play.

🚨 Update from Newham's Public Health team on meningococcal disease🚨 There's been an outbreak of meningococcal disease in Kent. The risk to people in Newham is low. We are encouraging you to be aware of the symptoms. If you have missed any routine vaccinations, contact your GP.

Happy IWD to all! Remember to register to vote, whoever you vote for 💜🤍💚 (Though one party brought us equal pay and flexible working rights, and outlawed sex discrimination. Just saying) 🤷‍♀️😉

Happy #InternationalWomensDay 💜 This year’s theme #GiveToGain reminds us that when we invest in women and girls, everyone benefits. We’re proud to support equality and build stronger communities in Newham. 👉 orlo.uk/jtocD #IWD2026
