Barking and Dagenham
The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham is a London borough in East London, England. It lies about 9 miles (14.4 km) east of Central London. The borough was formed in 1965 by the London Government Act 1963 as the London Borough of Barking. The constituent areas were almost all of the Municipal Borough of Barking plus the largest part of the Municipal Borough of Dagenham, the former area of which was transferred to Greater London from Essex. It's an Outer London borough and the south is inside the London Riverside portion of the Thames Gateway, which is an region designated as a national priority for urban regeneration. It covers a total area of 13.93 square miles.
In line with the 2011 census, the area includes a population of around 198294, the majority of which reside within the Becontree estate. A great deal of the housing of the borough was constructed by the London County Council in the course of the interwar period of 1921-1939. Since the decline of these industries in the 1980s, employment has shifted much more towards service sector jobs.
Much of the borough is inside the London Riverside area of the Thames Gateway zone and it is the site of considerable property developing along with other development. The local authority is Barking and Dagenham London Borough Council.
