Council Constitution

Barking and Dagenham

We are here to provide essential services across the borough and, working with local agencies like the police and the health service, to meet the needs of everyone who lives here.

So the decisions that we make on your behalf are really important. We want to encourage you to have more say in how our organisation is run, the types of services we provide, and our plans for the future.

These web pages feature our constitution, and explain how the different parts of the council work together, how we make our decisions and how you can have your say. You can also see our full constitution at the Dagenham Civic Centre, Barking Town Hall and at local libraries.
