New path in Mayesbrook Park

A new path has been built in Mayesbrook Park, roughly bisecting the northernmost field (containing the cricket ground) running north-south. It finishes at the fence by Honour Gardens, one of the new roads in Academy Central - ie the former UEL Barking Campus site - I can only conclude there will be a new gate into the park there.

If this is the case, it will help form more routes avoiding Longbridge Rd, and particularly the junction with Goodmayes Lane, which will be attractive and useful.

From memory, B&D council has already started to pepper Academy Central with restrictions on cycling, such as no entries and one ways. I need to go and audit / take photos (or find previous photos). Then I will raise this with the council.

Barking Bus Disruption

Resurfacing works in Longbridge Road (between Wakering Road and The Catch roundabout) mean that buses will be delayed, diverted, and generally disrupted "Between 20:00 Friday 18 September and 06:00 Saturday 19 September." However this is not the first closure of this stretch of road, and I don't know if it will be the last.
