Foreshore – first phase

In October 2024, BRL invited residents to come to review the design proposals for the first phase of the Barking Riverside foreshore. 

The riverfront is one of Barking Riverside’s most unique and important features. As part of the existing Outline Planning permission, BRL is designing the first phase of works to the foreshore, which will stretch from the Barking Riverside pier to beyond the Project Office.

These essential works are required to enhance flood defences, drainage and access to the river.

Once these important works have been completed, residents will be able to enjoy:

  • A new terrace by the pier – providing space to meet, greet and spend time enjoying the river
  • Improved access along the river via a new promenade, or alternatively via a footpath that will meander through the edge of the coastal grassland.
  • Enhanced habitats which support local wildlife, including habitats for lizards, bugs, snakes and birds
  • New play areas for children of all ages

Thank you to all who came to this engagement event.
