About

Chadwell Heath ward lies in the northeastern corner of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, bordering the London Borough of Redbridge.

The local high street offers a range of independent shops and essential services catering to the community.

The ward's geography includes a significant amount of green space, with Goodmayes Park extending across its boundary.
