Attending council and other decision making meetings
Everyone has the right to attend meetings of the council held in public, its committees and sub-committees, including meetings of Cabinet. It may be necessary to ask you to leave the room during discussion of certain categories of information, such as information relating to a named individual, commercially or legally sensitive information.
Accessibility
Please note that for people who are deaf or hearing impaired a hearing loop system will be provided at meetings of council. If you require British Sign Language interpretation at the meeting, please email events@newham.gov.uk 10 days before the meeting, so the council can accommodate the request.
Council meetings are either held at East Ham Town Hall or Old Town Hall Stratford where both venues are wheelchair accessible.
If you have any accessibility requirements or concerns for any of the council’s committee meetings, please email the democratic services team or discuss via telephone on 020 3373 4643.
