Issue - meetings

Received a report on the proposed Barking Town Centre Movement Strategy, which aims to provide a co-ordinated approach to improving the movement of people, vehicles and other transport in the area.  Discussed a number of issues relating to the movement of pedestrians and vehicles in the Town Centre and noted that individual projects will be subject to detailed consultation.

Agreed, in order to assist the Council in achieving its Community Priorities of “Regenerating the Local Economy” and “Making Barking and Dagenham Cleaner, Greener and Safer”, to adopt the Movement Strategy as the Council’s policy to direct the future development of Barking Town Centre’s transport and movement infrastructure, subject to the proposal regarding the opening up of East Street being considered more fully in the context of the detailed masterplan for London Road / North Street.
