transport barriers
Barking and Dagenham Council is considering how to ensure accessible, safe, and local healthy lifestyle support.
Barking and Dagenham Council's Health Scrutiny Committee reviewed the early impact of a new healthy weight commissioning model in February 2026. This strategy, developed in partnership with DDM Health Ltd, aims to address the borough's obesity crisis by shifting to a community-led approach. Extensive resident engagement identified the need for accessible, safe, and local healthy lifestyle support as a key theme for the new model.
No further discussions on transport barriers are currently scheduled at the provided councils. The topic generally refers to difficulties related to the availability, cost, reliability, or accessibility of transportation, which can impact residents' ability to access services and support.
