A consultation had been taking place on the future of the Chadwell Centre (Gresham Drive). This was organised by the 'Redbridge and Waltham Forest Learning Disability Partnership'. Our current Liberal Councillors were invited and a report was heard at a Council Cabinet meeting on 02/12/08 at the Town Hall, it was here that the Conservative leadership of Redbridge Council decided to close the facility.
Your Labour team were concerned about the closure, which will remove a valuable local community centre from Chadwell ward. The centre has been a lifeline to Redbridge people affected by learning disabilities.
We urge the Council to take service users feeling into account and will continue to campaign to ensure this happens with appropriate sensitivity.
In relation to any future development of this site. We support a continued community function. We feel there have been too many large scale developments, particularly in and around Grove Road / Chadwell Heath Lane in recent years. This is a problem as there has been no tangible gain to over-burdeoned Chadwell schools by our Conservative led Redbridge Council.
