Barking and Dagenham's Local Cultural Strategy Barking and Dagenham’s Local Cultural Strategy November 2002 LBBD/Local Cultural Strategy/2002 Section 1 A Cultural Strategy for Barking and Dagenham Every Council in partnership with the community it serves is expected to have a Local Cultural Strategy by the end of 2002. Barking and Dagenham’s Local Cultural Strategy assesses the current levels of cultural provision and identifies key priorities for action on culture. This strategy is planned to run from 2003 until 2008 and will be reviewed in early 2005. What is a Local Cultural Strategy? This strategy sets out a vision for culture in Barking and Dagenham. It sets priorities for the cultural development and cultural life of the Borough. The strategy also includes an action plan. An important first step is to define what is meant by culture and how the Borough and its community will benefit from cultural activities and provision. These benefits provide the rationale for the Council’s cultural action and provision. What is meant by culture? In Barking and Dagenham, the scope of activities that comprise the Council’s cultural provision include the following: y the performing and visual arts, crafts and fashion; y media, film, television and video; y museums, archives and design; y libraries, literature and publishing; y heritage, architecture, landscape and archaeology; y sport events and facilities; y parks, open spaces, countryside recreation; y children’s play, playgrounds; y tourism, festivals and attractions; y information leisure pursuits This is in line with the Government’s guidance issued by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Culture and cultural activities bring a number of benefits to everyone in the community, for example, personal well-being, pleasure, sheer exhilaration and enjoyment. Culture is a significant contributor to the local economy. The audit of arts activities and resources that the Council carried out in 2001 identified over 100 organisations and businesses in Barking and Dagenham that deliver a wide range of artistic, educational, creative, technical, publishing and production services. Investment in local cultural development and activities will improve the prospects of employment in the Borough and generate business for other local activities; for example, visitors to cultural events also visit local restaurants, cafes and shops. Social benefits from cultural activity are many and varied. There are good examples in Barking and Dagenham, especially through the work developed by local community c/sms/local cultural strategy/consultation LBBD/Local Cultural Strategy/2002 organisations working with groups at risk of exclusion such as ethnic communities, young people or disabled people. Cultural activity supports citizenship and community identity. In this area, the museum, archive and libraries have a major role to play as the repositories of the borough’s collections, local records and preservers of the collective memory of the community. As part of the wider cultural provision, recreation and sport also obviously play a key part in the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. c/sms/local cultural strategy/consultation LBBD/Local Cultural Strategy/2002 Section 2 The National and Regional Context for a Local Cultural Strategy A number of national and regional strategies, plans and policies are relevant to Barking and Dagenham’s cultural strategy. These are produced by bodies as wide ranging as the Department for Culture Media and Sport, the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), the Greater London Authority, the Arts Council of England’s regional office - London Arts, the Sports Council and other partners such as Heart of Thames Gateway. The DCMS vision for culture and creativity over the next ten years1 sets out three key themes - education, excellence and access. The role of schools in developing young people’s creativity and cultural understanding is set out in the DfEE/DCMS joint report, ‘All Our Futures’. The Council’s commitment to promoting excellence and removing barriers to participation is entirely in line with these documents. The Council has a sustained and proven track record in supporting schools. Promoting a culturally rich curriculum which encourages creativity is a central part of this support. The Mayor of London2 estimates that with demand for leisure goods and services continuing to rise, every borough will benefit from identifying those cultural industries, however small, which have the potential for growth and from having a full range of cultural facilities. He argues that removing the barriers to participation in this new labour market and raising educational attainment in London at all levels, is a prime condition for success. This is especially significant in Barking and Dagenham given the development plans for London Riverside outlined in Section 4. The Council has worked in partnership with schools successfully over the last decade to raise educational attainment. It will continue to give a high priority to improving educational attainment for school pupils and for adults. Sport England also emphasises the development of local sports infrastructure, service improvements and promoting excellence as its key priorities3. Increasing participation means working to include particular sections of the population who may be at risk of exclusion. Promoting equal opportunities and celebrating diversity is very important to the Council. London Arts Disability and Cultural Diversity Action Plans will inform every aspect of Barking and Dagenham’s cultural strategy. 1 Department for Culture, Media and Sport 2001 Culture and creativity: the next ten years.

London: Sport England c/sms/local cultural strategy/consultation LBBD/Local Cultural Strategy/2002 Section 3 The Local Context Barking and Dagenham is situated to the east of London, in the Heart of Thames Gateway. To the east of the Borough are Havering and Essex, with Redbridge to the north and Newham to the west. Its southern boundary is the River Thames, accessed via Barking Reach and Dagenham Dock. It is an outer London Borough with a significant and proud industrial history. The Borough has good communication links with a main C2C rail link to Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness, and District and Hammersmith and City Tube lines. The A12 and A13 dissect the borough to the north and south respectively and the A406 and M25 are to the west and east. Because of this, the borough is well positioned to cater for visitors to London for business and pleasure and several hotel chains are represented here. The population of Barking and Dagenham is estimated to be 164,0004. In general terms the population structure is comparable to London as whole except young people (under 16s) make up 24 % of the Borough’s total population. This is one of the highest proportions in London. The cultural strategy and action plans must therefore be relevant to young people as audiences and participants in art, sports and recreational activity. The estimated population of ethnic minority origin was nearly 14,0005 in 1996 and is growing. The Language Support Service identified 86 languages in the Borough. The main minority languages are: Urdu; Hindi; Punjabi; Somali; French; Turkish and Albanian. The strategy aims to ensure that this cultural diversity is reflected in its aims and actions. The average incomes in the Borough are the lowest in London – at £6.25 per hour the median wage in the Borough is 28 % below the Greater London figure of £8.65. 17 out of the Borough’s 20 wards are in the 20 % most deprived areas nationally. The number of disabled people is also high with 4.5 % of the local population claiming disability living allowance in 1999. Unemployment in the Borough, at 4.5 % (April 2001), is higher than the national and London averages (3.6 and 3.1 respectively). There are an estimated 30,000 adults (i.e. a quarter of the total adult population) with needs in basic skills. Clearly there are issues of access - cultural, financial, intellectual and physical - which the strategy must address. The Borough’s Community Strategy sets targets for improvement in health, safety, education, employment and in equal opportunities. The Local Cultural Strategy plays an essential part in helping those targets to be met. The Local Strategic Context At corporate level, the 2020 Vision and the Community Strategy set the agenda for the development of Barking and Dagenham. The Local Cultural Strategy must also address the Council’s seven Community Priorities; they are: • Promoting equal opportunities and celebrating diversity; 4 The population estimates are from the Census 2001 (Regional Trends 37, 2002) 5 The only available estimates for ethnic minority population are from 1996. c/sms/local cultural strategy/consultation LBBD/Local Cultural Strategy/2002 • Better education and learning for all; • Developing rights and responsibilities with the local community; • Improving health, housing and social care; • Making Barking and Dagenham cleaner, greener and safer; • Raising general pride in the borough; and • Regenerating the local economy. In addition, the Best Value Performance Plan 2002-2003 and the Balanced Scorecard set targets for performance which inform the Local Cultural Strategy. The Local Cultural Strategy is influenced by, and will influence, the service delivery plans of several council departments. The action plan will take account of these. Key plans

  • River Thames and Tidal Tributaries Summary
    Metropolitan Site Reference: M031 Site Name: River Thames and tidal tributaries Summary: The Thames, London’s most famous natural feature, is home to many fish and birds, creating a wildlife corridor running right across the capital. Grid ref: TQ 302 806 Area (ha): 2304.92 ha in London, 171.22 ha in Barking and Dagenham Borough(s): Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, City of London, Greenwich, Hammersmith and Fulham, Havering, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Richmond upon Thames, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, Westminster Habitat(s): Intertidal, Marsh/swamp, Pond/Lake, Reed bed, Running water, Saltmarsh, Secondary woodland, Vegetated wall/tombstones, Wet ditches, Wet grassland, Wet woodland/carr Access: Free public access (part of site) Ownership: Port of London Authority (Tidal banks) and Private (Riparian owners (non tidal banks)) Site Description: The River Thames and the tidal sections of creeks and rivers which flow into it comprise a number of valuable habitats not found elsewhere in London. The mud-flats, shingle beach, inter-tidal vegetation, islands and river channel itself support many species from freshwater, estuarine and marine communities which are rare in London. The site is of particular importance for wildfowl and wading birds. The river walls, particularly in south and east London, also provide important feeding areas for the nationally rare and specially-protected black redstart. The Thames is extremely important for fish, with over 100 species now present. Many of the tidal creeks are important fish nurseries, including for several nationally uncommon species such as smelt. Barking Creek supports extensive reed beds. Further downstream are small areas of saltmarsh, a very rare habitat in London, where there is a small population of the nationally scarce marsh sow-thistle (Sonchus palustris).

  • The Thames Gateway: an Introduction to the Historical Landscapes of the Northern Riverside
    The Thames Gateway: An introduction to the historical landscapes of the northern riverside Bridget Cherry This introduction does not aim to be comprehensive, but focuses on a few examples to demonstrate the diversity of the relics of the past thousand years that make up the landscape to the east of London. More detail can be found in the sources listed. Settlements along the Thames and its tributaries have a long history. The land was easily available to invaders from the Continent, and settlers were attracted both by the good grazing land, and by the opportunities offered by fishing and river trade. Barking, now the chief place in the London borough of the same name, was one of the oldest important settlements, with a harbour in the creek at the mouth of river Roding, which was also a means of transport inland for heavy goods such as coal and lime (Fig 1). The town flourished for many centuries as a port, with Barking vessels transporting fish and local vegetables to London; by the 9th century the area had become well known for its potato crops. Barking’s early 9th-century character is conveyed in the view from Wright’s Essex, 836 (Wright 2, 474) (Fig ), which shows the harbour with the medieval parish church in the distance, a reminder of the town’s older history. The church was built in the precinct of Barking Abbey, a nunnery founded by the Bishop of London in the 7th century. Until its dissolution in the 16th century, this nunnery, housing the shrine of its first abbess, St Ethelburgha, was one of the wealthiest in England.
