Key facts
- Forhad Hussain has been Labour Mayor of London Borough of Newham since 2026, directly elected by residents to run the council's executive and set its budget and priorities.
- UK councils handle council tax, social housing, planning and licensing, adult and children's social care, waste and recycling collection, local roads, and (outside London) local schools. Reserved matters — benefits, immigration, tax, and the NHS's national policy — go to central government or your MP instead.
- Identify yourself as a resident: full name, home address, and postcode, so staff can confirm you live in the council's area. For a ward-specific issue, your own ward councillor (found via the council's website) will usually get a faster reply than the Mayor.
- Post to a mayor is not free — a normal Royal Mail stamp applies.
- PostPal prints your letter and posts it via Royal Mail the next business day for £4 — no printer, envelope, or stamp needed.

Common questions
What is Forhad Hussain's mailing address?
Mayor Forhad Hussain, Newham Dockside, 1000 Dockside Road, London, E16 2QU.
Should I write to the Mayor or my local councillor?
For a council-wide policy question, write to Hussain as Mayor. For something specific to your street or estate (a pothole, a planning application next door, a bin collection issue), your own ward councillor is usually faster — find them via London Borough of Newham's website and post to the same civic address, marked for their attention.
Do I need a stamp to write to Hussain?
Yes — post to a mayor takes normal postage; there's no free-post rule for UK local government. If you'd rather skip the stamp and printer entirely, PostPal prints and posts your letter for £4 flat.
Do I have to live in Newham's area to write to Hussain?
No, but casework is normally only taken up for residents. If you live outside the council's boundary, your own local council is the right first contact — or write to Hussain specifically about a policy that affects you as a visitor, worker, or business owner locally.
Will Forhad Hussain actually read my letter?
Constituent post is logged by council office staff, and issues tied to an upcoming cabinet decision get flagged directly. Include your return address — PostPal prints yours automatically — so a reply has somewhere to go.
