Lists of districts in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are various formal and informal subdivisions of London Borough of Barking and Dagenham

Pre 1965 boroughs[]

Since 1994 the borough has comprised the areas of the former Borough of Barking (in the main - some parts went to Newham in 1965) and of Dagenham, plus most of the part of the Becontree Estate that was originally in the Borough of Ilford.

Postal Geography[]

18 Postcode sectors in (7 postcode areas) cover the borough: IG11 7, 8, 9 and 0; RM5 2; RM6 4, 5 and 6; RM7 0; RM8 1, 2 and 3; RM9 4, 5 and 6; RM10 7, 8, 9. All of RM8 and RM9 are wholly within B&D and for practical purposes so is all of RM10. The other areas extend into neighbouring boroughs (Newham, Redbridge and Havering). All sectors of IG11 [4 sectors], RM6 [3], RM8 [3], RM9 [3] and RM10 [3] are at least partly in B&D.

The Post Towns Barking, Dagenham, and Romford each cover part of the borough (and beyond).

(In fact the borough also extends into LONDON E6 2--, but this is negligible as the area comprises a roundabout and slip roads with no residences or businesses.)

In the Council's Local Plan[]

These are the geographical areas that the Local Authority splits the borough into for spatial planning purposes, sometimes attempting to engage the population in identifying with the areas/manes chosen.

Character areas[]

These 11 "character areas" were proposed in Barking & Dagenham Council's 'Issues and Options' report on page 50 (list) and 51 (map).[1] The character area names are unique within the list.

"We would appreciate your feedback on what you think the different places are in Barking and Dagenham. To help with this we’ve attempted to define what we think are the eleven places that make up the borough. Becontree; Becontree Heath; Barking Riverside/Thames View; Barking Town Centre; Chadwell Heath; Dagenham East; Dagenham Riverside; Faircross, Leftley and Eastbury; Goodmayes; Marks Gate; Rush Green."

The omission of Upney - an old place name and the name of a London Underground station - from this list is noteworthy.

Strategic sub-areas[]

These 7 'strategic sub-areas' are on a map published by Barking & Dagenham Council in September 2019:

Barking & The Roding; Becontree Heath & Rush Green; Becontree; Chadwell Heath & Marks Gate; Dagenham Dock & Beam Park; Dagenham East & The Village; Thames & Riverside

Draft local plan 2019-2034[]

Similar (if not identical) areas were subsequently used, albeit with some names modified, in the council's Draft Local Plan 2019-2034:[2]

1: Barking Town Centre and the River Roding

2: Thames Road, Barking Riverside and Castle Green

3: Dagenham Dock, Beam Park and the Ford Stamping Plant **

4: Becontree

5: Chadwell Heath and Marks Gate

6: Becontree Heath and Rush Green

7: Dagenham East and Dagenham Village

** in August 2021 Peabody started consulting on their plans to redevelop the Ford Stamping Plant site: The development has been dubbed 'Dagenham Green'.[3]

September 2020 consultation version of the local plan[]

This version of the local plan[4] lists sub-area 1 above as: 'Barking, the River Roding'

Sub areas 2021[]

In the Autumn 2021 version of the council's Local Plan[5] the 7 sub areas are:

Barking and the River Roding; Thames Riverside; Dagenham Dock and Freeport; Becontree and Heathway; Chadwell Heath and Marks Gate; Becontree Heath and Rush Green; Dagenham East and Village

Electoral wards and polling districts[]

Wards from 2010[]

The borough is divided into wards - these 17 from 2010: Abbey, Alibon, Becontree, Chadwell Heath *, Eastbrook *, Eastbury, Gascoigne, Goresbrook, Heath *, Longbridge, Mayesbrook, Parsloes, River *, Thames, Valence, Village * and Whalebone * wards.[6] Each ward is represented by three Councillors.

From the 2010 General election, the 6 wards indicated by * were in Dagenham & Rainham Constituency, with 3 wards from LB Havering, and the remaining 11 were in Barking constituency.

Wikipedia Dagenham article[]

A footnote to this - unsourced - lists 10 wards which it claims constitute Dagenham: Alibon, Becontree, Eastbrook, Goresbrook, Heath, Mayesbrook, Parsloes, River, Valence and Village. As Chadwell Heath and Whalebone wards could not conceivably be counted as part of Barking, this leaves Abbey, Eastbury, Gascoigne, Longbridge and Thames constituting Barking.

Polling districts[]

The borough is divided into 66 polling districts, each denoted by a two letter code. There is a map here https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/Reviews/Greater%20London/Barking%20%26%20Dagenham/Warding/PD%20w%20labels.pdf

Ward name and boundary changes 2022[]

From 27 October 2020 until 31 May 2021 the Electoral Commission consulted on ward boundary changes to take effect from the 2022 elections.[7] The council proposed[8] to continue having 51 Councillors, but to increase the number of wards to 19. The 17 wards named above would be kept, though with changed boundaries, and two new wards - Roding and Creekmouth - each with 2 members - would be added. Eastbrook, Gascoigne, Heath, and Parsloes wards would become 2 member wards. The estimated borough-wide electorate at the time of the change will be 17,4322, equivalent to 3418 electors per Councillor. The proposed changes entail each ward boundary being drawn so that the electors per Councillor is within 10% of that borough average.[9][10]

The Boundary Commission's decision in August 2021 [11] has the following 19 wards:

Abbey [2], Alibon [2], Barking Riverside [n], Beam [n], Becontree [2], Chadwell Heath, Eastbrook & Rush Green [2] [n], Eastbury, Gascoigne, Goresbrook, Heath [2], Longbridge, Mayesbrook, Northbury [n], Parsloes, Thames View [2] [n], Valence, Village, and Whalebone.

[2] = Two member wards - 6 off. The other 13 are three member. Total remains at 51 Councillors.

[n] = New ward name - 5 off. 3 lost Ward names - Eastbrook, River, Thames

The boundary changes would mean, when implemented as expected, that Goresbrook and Parsloes wards will each straddle the boundary between the two parliamentary constituencies that cover the borough.

Barking, Dagenham and Goodmayes British Telecom exchanges (in the London Telephone Region - 020 numbers) and Romford (01708) cover the borough between them.
