Equality Impact Assessment
Newham Council evaluated its West Ham Park traffic scheme's equality impact in December 2025, while Haringey considered school closures in July 2025.
The most recent reported activity concerning Equality Impact Assessments (EQIAs) involved Newham Council's evaluation of its experimental West Ham Park traffic scheme, known as Area 8, in December 2025. This evaluation included an EQIA assessing the scheme's potential impacts on different community groups. A decision on whether to permanently implement, modify, or remove the scheme was expected at an Officer Key Decision meeting that month.
Separately, Haringey Council considered the closure of two schools in July 2025 due to declining pupil numbers. Councillor Zena Brabazon, Cabinet Member for Children, Schools & Families, was reviewing a report on this proposal, with a final determination expected by September 2025. An EQIA is a process used by public bodies to evaluate the potential impact of policies or decisions on groups with protected characteristics.
