Let’s Love Newham – Working Together for a Cleaner Borough
Newham Council’s Let’s Love Newham campaign is a borough-wide initiative to create cleaner, safer and more welcoming neighbourhoods for everyone.
We’re asking residents and everyone who visits Newham to join us in tackling fly-tipping, reducing food waste, boosting recycling and keeping our streets clean.
Together, through community action and council services, we can build public spaces we’re proud of and show everyone what it means to truly love where we live.
Get involved today and help make Newham shine.
