Barking & Dagenham
Who are we?
We are Barking & Dagenham Citizens, part of the East London Citizens Organisation (TELCO). Hundreds of people form our alliance from schools, faith institutions, universities, and community groups. Together, we organise to tackle injustice in our local communities and beyond.
Since our founding in 2017 we have:
- Won over Β£2m worth of improvements to TFL bus routes to and from local schools, to ensure young people can travel safer
- Ensured Rose Lane, Marksgate was resurfaced for residents
- Campaigned for youth and street safety
- Fought for more jobs that pay a Real Living Wage across the borough
What change are we organising for?
The priority issues voted on by members in our community include:
- Fighting to make our streets safer for young people and their communities
- Campaigning for a Real Living Wage for Social Care Workers
- Fighting climate change by protecting community green spaces and championing food waste and recycling.
- Building affordable housing and fighting for better housing conditions
