Safer and Cleaner Borough
Barking and Dagenham Council's 'Our B&D' vision, adopted in September 2025, aims for a safer and cleaner borough.
Barking and Dagenham Council adopted its new 'Our B&D' vision in September 2025, which includes a safer and cleaner borough as a key theme. This vision, discussed by the Health & Wellbeing Board and ICB Sub-Committee, aims to improve safety and environmental quality across the borough.
The 'Our B&D' vision supersedes the previous 'Barking and Dagenham Together' Borough Manifesto from 2017, which a report to the committees said had lost relevancy. The Barking and Dagenham cabinet approved this new direction of travel for the council in July 2025.
The 'Our B&D' strategy seeks to address evolving community needs following Brexit, the pandemic, and the cost of living crisis, according to the council. It aims to ensure future strategies align with borough-wide goals, fostering a stronger sense of community.
