Further to Minute 142 (20 February 2007), the Cabinet Member for Regeneration reported on the proposed establishment, in partnership with Barking Riverside Limited, of the Barking Riverside Community Management Company (BRCMC) which replaced the Barking Riverside Community Development Trust as the organisation responsible for the management of the assets on the Barking Riverside development and any open space and roads not adopted by the Council.

The Cabinet Member advised that the BRCMC was a Community Infrastructure Company and was required to be operational in a shadow form by September 2011, prior to the first resident moving in to the area and the opening of the Rivergate Centre which included the George Carey Primary School, a nursery, a church and a café, as well as some community offices.

 (iii)  That the Council adopt the roads shown accordingly on the map attached as Appendix 1 to the report; and
