About

Goresbrook ward occupies the eastern edge of Barking and Dagenham, bordering the River Roding and the London Borough of Havering. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and more recent developments. Its landscape is notably flat and open, with the presence of the Goresbrook itself, a tributary of the Roding, influencing the local geography. The ward contains significant green corridors and sports facilities, including the large grounds of the Barking & Dagenham FC stadium.

The area is defined by its proximity to major transport infrastructure, including the A13 road and the Barking Riverside extension of the London Overground. This connectivity is shaping ongoing regeneration, particularly in the southern section near the Thames. The historic Goresbrook House, though now a modern community centre, anchors the area's identity. Large retail parks and industrial estates on its periphery provide local employment, contrasting with the quieter residential streets inland.
