67% of Newham Children live in households in poverty after housing costs

 

I have been pushing on social media the Newham Council consultation on changes to our allocation policy and our new housing strategy.

Recently I had a push back from someone who did not believe our stats on how how many of our residents live in poverty after their housing costs are taken into account.

The caption above is from Newham Household Panel Survey 2017 p6 https://newham.gov.uk/downloads/file/563/research-householdsurvey9…

Every time I walk next to a newham school during play time I think about this statistic and what should we do about it?
