Improvements at East
Ham local service centre
The local service centre (LSC)
in Barking Road is undergoing refurbishment as part of Newham
Council's commitment to providing better facilities for
residents.
New chairs, telephones and repainting are just a few of
the changes taking place to make the centre in Barking Road more
user-friendly. The centre will be closed from Wednesday 8 September
to Monday 4 October while the improvements take place.
During this time a temporary parking permit application office
will be set up at Newham Town Hall, just a stone's throw from the
LSC. Residents will be able to pay using credit or debit
cards.
The refurbishment will make the centre brighter, more up-to-date
and more accessible for disabled people.
Councillor Andrew Baikie, Newham's executive member for Housing
and Customer Service, said: "We want people to receive the best and
most welcoming standard of service possible and that is why these
changes are taking place.
"We want to make sure visitors to our local service centres and
libraries have the most comfortable, friendly and convenient
surroundings we can provide."
