Barking Park Improvements

http://www.lbbd.gov.uk/2-press-release/press-release-menu.cfm?item_code=3330

The miniature railway in Barking Park re-opened on 11 April. (This is not a transport story - the line doesn't connect with Barking Station!). The press release above explains what other things will be done using the £3M+ the park has been granted by the Lottery.

I had an input to the consultation about restoration some years ago and mentioned cycling based improvements including improving the Park Avenue entrance (dropped kerb and wider gate).
