POLICY BTC15: SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE/COMMUNITY FACILITIES

The Council will work in partnership with other bodies (such as NHS Barking and Dagenham, the Metropolitan Police, the University of East London and Barking College) to enable the provision of a suitable range of health, educational and community facilities in the AAP area to meet existing and future demand.

As part of this, the Council will work with Her Majesty’s Court Services to meet the additional space requirements of the existing Magistrates Court in East Street and will encourage the provision of a police shop within the town centre and the creation of a centre for its non-public facing functions on the Muirhead Quay part of the former Fresh Wharf Estate site.
