Cabinet Member for Council Housing Improvements (Newham Council)
Newham Council is currently investing in significant council housing improvements, including a £9 million refurbishment and a £1.5 million retrofitting project.
Newham Council's Cabinet approved a £9 million investment in December 2025 to refurbish Hamara Ghar, a sheltered housing block. The project aims to modernise the building and improve living conditions for residents, with the contract for £8.1 million awarded to Mulalley & Co Ltd. Funding for this work comes from uncommitted capital allocations within the Retrofit Programme.
The council is also progressing with a £1.5 million retrofitting project for 359 homes, approved by the Cabinet in July 2025. This funding, from the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund, targets homes with issues such as damp and mould, and those below an EPC rating of C, predominantly in North Woolwich, East Ham, and Canning Town.
