Progress at Woodward Road

Planning permission for the Woodward Road scheme was granted in July 2020. Be First has now procured the main contractor to deliver the scheme, Mullaley Construction Ltd.

In August 2020, the final phase of demolition was carried out by Mullaley Construction and the site is now clear, ready for main works to being. We anticipate the main construction works will begin in September 2020, and Mullaley Construction will be issuing regular updates and notices to keep local residents up to date on progress and forthcoming works. The scheme is scheduled for completion at the end of summer 2022. Further to the main works on the site, the refurbishment works to the former Barking Public Library will also take place concurrently.

As a reminder of the plans approved by the Council, Be First aim to deliver 56 affordable homes, including 13 family houses, as well as the refurbished former library building for community use.
