transformation
Barking and Dagenham Council is implementing a new overarching framework for transformation to improve services.
Barking and Dagenham Council's Cabinet approved a new overarching framework for transformation in July 2026. This framework, known as the "A Better B&D" Change Strategy, aims to guide significant changes and improvements within the council. The council was also praised in an LGA Corporate Peer Challenge in January 2026, which noted its strengths in regeneration and mentioned "transformation zones" in Dagenham Heathway.
