Community Initiatives Programme

We want to work in partnership with residents and local stakeholders in the Canning Town and Custom House regeneration areas, to create better neighbourhoods for you to live in, before works on the regeneration programme begins.

This is your opportunity to share your views, experiences and to tell us what you would like to see happening now in your neighbourhood.

Project Ideas

May 16, 2022 - June 5, 2022

The top three priority themes for the Regeneration areas of Canning Town and Custom House are:

Improving Community Safety
Improving where you live
Economic Inclusion.

We are now looking for residents and the community to submit ideas for projects that will help address one or all of the top three priorities.

The Community Initiatives Working Group will assess all project ideas.

Projects which meet the funding criteria will be announced and voted on by residents in the area (phase 4 of the timeline).

The deadline for submitting any project ideas has been postponed to Sunday, 5 June.

Please submit your ideas for new projects in your area.

Barbara Premo4 years ago Currently exists a mural in the Canning Town subway on Beckton Rd which inspired the idea for this project. The subway is a minute walk from the Mcdonalds and about 3 minutes from my house. It's a very popular route many women use to get home and one I have used since I was a child so I am deeply connected to the cause. Currently the subway is very unsafe for me to use as a woman especially at night because of how it is being used and maintained; hopefully the proposed project will improve the safety, state and economic inclusion of Canning town south and Newham council.I am proposing an idea to make use of the tiles and walls in the subway as a gallery space, similar to the image attached. The project would transform the space and turn it into a space that displays artworks; this could be in the form of photography, paintings, murals and so on. This can be a temporary project to be used as a proof of concept to see if the idea will benefit the community.However there is no doubt it will. Creating a project of this sort will inspire the youth and the community to: Respect and maintain cleanliness of the subway Allow the community to get involved in community projects (community engagement) Inspire the youth and overall community to be proud of their local borough Improve safety of the subway And maybe even encourage tourism All of these contribute and align with the goals and initiatives of Newham Council's priorities of Community Safety, Improving where you live, and Economic Inclusion.As a woman my safety and the safety of other women is a priority hence my contribution to the project and my background in the arts will provide me with the skills and network to bring the project to life.Therefore, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the problems and solutions further and how we can make it happen to bring the change our community deserves.

Negative minds, leads to negative dirty streets...Lets Stomp it out please!This is a start in a positive direction to know that we can come together to keep our environment clean for our well being.Wellbeing has been found to have an impact on many aspects of our lives. This project is one of them. It will enable us to engage with one another, working together. We will be on the same mind set how to keep our Road clean at all times. Great minds think alike - clean environment - clean minds for better mental health.
