Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member for Regeneration reported on the proposed renaming of the Northern Relief Road, Barking.

A number of options had been considered and the Cabinet Member advised that the preferred option was Gurdwara Way, in recognition of the prominent location of the Sikh temple on the non-residential road as well as the contribution of the Sikh community to the local area and the nation as a whole.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Approve the proposed renaming of the Northern Relief Road to Gurdwara Way; and

(ii)  Authorise officers to carry out the necessary statutory procedures to confirm the change of name.
