  1. Today’s municipal treasure: a badge featuring the coat of arms of the former Borough of Dagenham. This appears to have been an award for swimming prowess! #Dagenham #Municipal

  2. Highlights of the consultation report for routes 287 and 687:
    #Transport for #London and the London Borough of #Barking and #Dagenham consulted on re-routing buses 287 and 687 from the A13 to Maplestead and Goresbrook Roads to improve reliability during Lodge Avenue Flyover works. Of 405 responses, two campaigns emerged, mainly calling for New Routemasters and access through the Maplestead Road bus gate. Feedback was mixed: with campaign input, 38% of open-text comments were negative and 12% positive. When asked directly, 51% felt the changes would help them and 39% disagreed. Supporters highlighted improved safety, better access for older and mobility-impaired people and smoother trips. Concerns focused on isolation for Scrattons Farm Estate, A13 crossing difficulties, impacts on vulnerable groups and more traffic on Goresbrook Road. #TfL and the borough will proceed, with highway works in early 2026 and new routing expected in spring or summer 2026.

    What the fuck!

    Weren't lessons suppossed to have been learnt post #Grenfell

  10. I would describe them as a ‘wicked problem’ because whatever you do there are risks at every point because it’s financially often considered impossible to rehome all the occupants for the duration of the project.

    The sad reality this morning is that all the occupants of the #Dagenham towerblock will have to be rehomed.

    What was previously considered financially prohibitive now has to be done.

  11. I hope that everyone was evacuated from this towerblock in #Dagenham and that they are medically ok this morning.

    It appears to have been a close call. Clearly lessons have been learned from #Grenfell and those are ongoing in terms of removing flammable cladding.

    The risks and attention to detail for #retrofitting these blocks should not be underestimated.

  12. The 2010 Mayor's Transport Strategy and #Transport for #London's (#TfL) proposal to extend the Docklands Light #Railway (DLR) to #Dagenham Dock, Forest Hill, Victoria and St. Pancras.

  14. Halfords in #Dagenham , East #London has closed - those wanting car or bike accessories will have to go to Chadwell Heath or Beckton (at least these places aren't too far away). Looking at their social media reviews they appear to have been struggling with staffing levels and customer service issues...
