Barking Town Centre

What is the project?
We have developed an ambitious programme to transform Barking Town Centre into a vibrant town centre for the borough's existing and new communities. There will be:

A greater choice of housing in the town centre
A thriving economy with new bars, cafés, restaurants and shops
New employment opportunities for local people
Improvements to the town centre's roads, pedestrian areas and green spaces, paid for with funding from the government
New transport links with Ilford and Barking Riverside
New cultural and leisure facilities
