Council tax is rising by five per cent from next month.
The town hall s budget spending plan, which includes the hike, was given the thumbs-up by members of Newham Council at a meeting on Monday, March 1.
Three per cent of the rise is ringfenced for adult social care. A Band C property council tax bill will see an £3.89 increase per month.
Cllr Terry Paul, who is in charge of the council s coffers, hailed it as a budget for residents which will provide help for the vulnerable and show Newham cares.
