Decision details

Received a report providing an update on the new housing development currently underway at St Ann’s, Barking and outlining the need to name the new buildings.

Agreed, in order to allow for the first affordable units to be commissioned, to:

1. Name the 3 blocks Ardleigh, Curfew and Gateway houses.  The names put forward by local residents will be added to the list of approved names held by the Borough Archivist for future consideration; and

2. In light of the forthcoming developments around the Barking Town Centre and Barking Reach, to produce a detailed guidance for selecting names of new buildings and streets.
