Abstract

Newham Council and the High Streets Task Force (HSTF) began working together following an expert visit in October 2021. Based on discussions with the Council, the subsequent Unlocking Your Place Potential Report (UYPP) in September 2021 outlined how the Task Force could provide further support for East Ham. It was agreed that East Ham had:  Ambitious Local Authority, with success in redeveloping other parts of the borough (e.g. Stratford) now prioritising East Ham town centre  Strategic development of key community sites on the outskirts of town centre (college, library etc) which provide additional footfall and facilities  New residential developments within the town centre, which will further increase footfall and introduce a new demographic The Expert Support, which followed the UYPP Report, recommended introducing animation to transform East Ham, strengthening partnerships and developing a narrative on plans for the future.
