Stable and Decent Homes
Barking and Dagenham Council is implementing its 'Our B&D' vision, which includes stable and decent homes as a key outcome, replacing its 2017 manifesto.
Barking and Dagenham Council adopted its 'Our B&D' vision in September 2025, which includes stable and decent homes as a proposed outcome. This new vision, superseding the 2017 Borough Manifesto, aims to address evolving community needs following demographic changes, Brexit, the pandemic, and the cost-of-living crisis, as a report to the Health & Wellbeing Board and ICB Sub-Committee explained.
The council's cabinet approved a new community-led neighbourhood plan in July 2025, which will ensure future strategies align with the 'Our B&D' vision. Barking and Dagenham Council also consulted residents in July 2025 on the 'Our B&D' vision, which seeks to build upon previous successes and address shortcomings of the earlier Borough Manifesto.
