Regeneration & Economic Development
Be First is on a mission to accelerate regeneration in Barking and Dagenham, so that no-one is left behind. As part of this, we will accelerate the delivery of new homes and jobs, as well as working with the Council to ensure inclusive growth in the Borough, where no-one is left behind.
Eight zones across the Borough known as ‘Regeneration & Economic Development Areas’ will be the focus for extensive and large-scale development, transforming the Borough physically, alongside modernising the local economy and providing aspiration and opportunities for our residents. The eight Regeneration & Economic Development Areas are very diverse and will be delivered to different timescales. Delivery plans are currently being prepared for each of the areas, setting out how the full potential will be unlocked.
The Becontree neighbourhood forms a large part of the centre of the Borough, however, is not a Regeneration & Economic Development area as the focus will be on enhancement and modernising rather than extensive new development. Nevertheless, Be First will still have a key role in enhancing this historic estate.
