  • Ward Improvements

    Ward Improvements

    From Eastbrook to Rush Green, improvements continue to be made across our neighbourhoods through ongoing work with residents, the council, and local partners.
    Our shared aim is simple: to respond to concerns, support the community, and ensure our local area remains safe, clean, and well-maintained.

    Over the past three months, a number of practical steps have been taken to address local issues.

    Local Improvements
    Several street lighting issues have been resolved, including repairs on Dagenham Road, Eastbrook Avenue, Ely Gardens, and Highland Avenue. Work is also ongoing in areas such as Tony Rawson Way and Eastbrook Close, with additional faults identified and reported for repair.
    Road resurfacing and improvement works have been completed in parts of Eastbrook and Rush Green, works have been completed in Gorseway and Rose Glen Road help to improve road conditions for residents and drivers.
    Environmental concerns continue to be addressed. Reports of fly-tipping have been followed up for clearance, and community litter-picking initiatives have taken place. Residents are also being encouraged to report issues using a barcode and QR code system to help speed up responses.

    Community Safety
    Concerns raised by residents are being taken seriously. Reports of anti-social behaviour at Highland Avenue car park and disturbances near Legon Avenue have been passed on and followed up with the relevant authorities.
    Requests have also been made for increased police presence in certain areas, and engagement with local services is ongoing to ensure appropriate action is taken.


    Wider Developments
    We welcome the continued availability of services at #Dagenham #Police front counter, which remains an important local resource.
    Efforts are also underway, supported by our MP, to secure investment for improvements to Queen’s Hospital emergency services.
    In addition, funding has been secured for improvements to Central Park and other local areas, contributing to the long-term development of the community.

    Working Together
    Progress is best achieved through cooperation. We will continue working closely with residents and partners to address local priorities and keep the community informed.

  • Eastbrook Avenue – Street Lighting Fixed

    A few weeks ago, residents in Eastbrook Avenue raised concerns that the street lights were not working. Labour councillors took the issue seriously and made sure it was followed up with Barking & Dagenham Council.

    After investigating, the council found it was not just a simple bulb issue—the lantern units needed replacing. The council has now replaced the lanterns, and the street lights are working again.

    This is a simple but important improvement that makes the road safer for everyone, especially in the evenings. Once again, this shows that Labour listens to residents and delivers real action for our community.

    Thanks again to our Eastbrook and Rush Green team – Councillor Princess Bright, Tony Ramsay, and Amimul Ahsan Tanim.

  • Apply for a Postal Vote

    Apply for a Postal Vote

    Labour volunteer teams have been out across the ward extensively over the last few week listening to residents. A number of residents have asked about applying for postal votes for the elections in May.

    Voting by post is the safest and easiest way to make sure your vote counts. The quickest and easiest way setup postal voting is by applying online via the Government’s website here.

    You can also download, print out and fill in a paper postal vote application form. This should then be sent to your local Electoral Registration Office.

    Your Labour Community Team can help with lots of things, but unfortunately we can’t help you complete or return these forms. Do ask a friend or neighbour if you need help.

  • Lighting Fixed

    The Street lighting on Dagenham Road has now been fixed. Thank you so much to all the residents who reported it and, most importantly, for your patience while this was resolved

    I know it hasn’t been an easy wait. Balancing my role as your ward councillor alongside being Mayor and First Citizen of the Borough this municipal year hasn’t always been straightforward, but please know I am trying my very best and remain fully committed to Eastbrook and Rushgreen. 

    My emails are always open, and I’m genuinely grateful to residents who continue to trust me with their casework. You keep reaching out, and I’ll keep pushing to get things turned around as quickly as possible, that’s always been my approach and I won’t change that.

  • White Ribbon Strategy

    White Ribbon Strategy

    We are proud to support the White Ribbon Strategy to prevent violence against women and girls.

    On November 25th, Eastbrook and Rush Green Ward Councillor Princess Bright and prospective candidate Aminul Tanim attended Barking and Dagenham College to support the campaign. The message is clear: Together, we can prevent violence against women and girls.

  • Litter Pick

  • Community Litter Pick – Hardie Road

    Community Litter Pick – Hardie Road

    We joined our Eastbrook & Rush Green Labour Party community litter pick at Hardie Road, Dagenham. It was great to meet local residents, chat about our area, and work together to keep our streets clean and welcoming.

    Every small effort makes a big difference! Thank you to everyone who came along and took part — your community spirit truly shines.
