We can’t wait to open these new libraries later in the year!
🏗️ 📚 Investing in the ‘Community Glue’ that holds Newham together: @NewhamLondon Libraries are the heartbeat of our neighbourhoods ✨
Great to have visited our soon-to-open *Brand New* Plaistow and Green Street Libraries with cabinet members on Thursday!
Looking at these spaces, it’s clear: these aren’t just buildings for books.
They are sanctuaries for lifelong learning, hubs for digital inclusion, and vital anchors for local connection.
In Newham, high-quality civic spaces are a testament to our promise to invest in the social fabric and future potential of all our resident.
✅ We’re delivering on that promise for every single resident Newham👌🏽
✅ We’re building a borough where everyone has the tools to succeed and a place to belong.
➡️ Stay tuned for the grand openings!
We Are Newham 👌🏽✨
