Today’s municipal treasure: a badge featuring the coat of arms of the former Borough of Dagenham. This appears to have been an award for swimming prowess! #Dagenham #Municipal

Highlights of the consultation report for routes 287 and 687:
#Transport for #London and the London Borough of #Barking and #Dagenham consulted on re-routing buses 287 and 687 from the A13 to Maplestead and Goresbrook Roads to improve reliability during Lodge Avenue Flyover works. Of 405 responses, two campaigns emerged, mainly calling for New Routemasters and access through the Maplestead Road bus gate. Feedback was mixed: with campaign input, 38% of open-text comments were negative and 12% positive. When asked directly, 51% felt the changes would help them and 39% disagreed. Supporters highlighted improved safety, better access for older and mobility-impaired people and smoother trips. Concerns focused on isolation for Scrattons Farm Estate, A13 crossing difficulties, impacts on vulnerable groups and more traffic on Goresbrook Road. #TfL and the borough will proceed, with highway works in early 2026 and new routing expected in spring or summer 2026.
