Update on the new GP practice at Barking Riverside 🏥 Access to appointments has always been an important priority for residents, and so we wanted to share an update on the new GP practice for Huggett Road. Over the past year, BRL has been working in partnership with NHS @nelftnhstrust to bring this facility forward. Together, both BRL and NHS North East London have also been working closely with @lbbdcouncil, who has provided some funding support towards the delivery of the space. The practice has now been fully designed. With a number of consultation rooms, as well as a space for treatment, this new facility will ensure residents can access primary care services from within the Northgate neighbourhood. The practice will remain here until the larger, permanent health facility is delivered in the District Centre. We know many residents have engaged with this project at events like Community Conversation Time and Well Fest, so your feedback has already helped shape the proposals for this new space. With the designs finalised and signed-off, preparations are now being made for a contractor to start the fit-out works. Whilst activity on site will peak towards June and July, residents nearby may start to see some early activity over the next few weeks as we prepare the area. As always, every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum, with further information to be shared with any households or blocks directly adjacent. NHS North East London has committed to delivering healthcare services from this location as soon as the fit-out is complete. We will be able to share further updates, including the suggested opening, later in May. We understand how important this facility is for the community and will continue to keep residents updated as the project progresses.
🗣️ Have your say on our Thames Talk platform We’ve launched a new Thames Talk survey, and we’re asking residents to share their views on life at Barking Riverside and the surrounding area. This is one of the ways we gather feedback to help inform the Thames Futures Social Impact Report, which looks at local experiences and guides future decisions across the neighbourhood. Previous feedback has helped shape a range of initiatives over time - from new community programmes and events to local safety and public space improvements. Whether you’ve lived here for years or are new to the area, you can share what's working well and what you'd like to see improved. It only takes a few minutes to take part.
