Though one of the lowest funded boroughs in the country we’ve done our best to protect much of what we know people value, especially keeping streets looking clean, communities feeling safe, and helping residents live healthier lives.
On healthier lives, how often do you make use of our parks or leisure facilities?
An independent nationwide survey carried out by IMPOWER saw Redbridge ranked as the most efficient and best value for money council in London and 2nd best in England. Though proud of this we’re not at all complacent and know there’s always room to improve. With that in mind, what could the council be doing that would make a positive difference for you?

When it comes to setting a budget, much of what councils do today focuses on the things that we have to provide – essential services like making sure we’ve got enough social workers to help our most vulnerable children and young people and collecting your waste and recycling. Where we do have more flexibility, it would be helpful to know what your local priorities are.
Of the following, please tick up to three areas you’d want us to prioritise in the future:
A big part of our borough’s future success must involve making better use of available or underutilised land – we have 3000 homeless households and three times that on waiting lists for social housing. Therefore, we must build more homes. As well as providing much needed new places to live, regeneration that creates new homes can also be good for the local economy. It can also grow the tax base which in turn improves public services.
Do you support plans to invest in more housing to help tackle homelessness and the housing crisis?
Do you support plans to regenerate Redbridge and bring in investment?
