Calling all #cycling fans! As part of the Big Barking Riverside Picnic, the brilliant @vandomecycles & Biking Riverside will be running time trails on Saturday 14th July - with all entrants in with a chance of #winning a #bike! #HealthyNewTowns

[Barking Riverside London @barkingriver]

Great to see the positive effects of #cycling programmes across London featured in @guardian. Cycling is central to our master plan for Barking Riverside, with a cycle hub already operational & a labyrinth of cycle-ways planned #BikingRiverside https://t.co/6ufP2KRG3b

Fire on River Road: River Road is currently closed in both directions at the junction with Long Reach Road. Buses EL1, EL2 and EL3 are unaffected when returning to the estate. As it's an ongoing incident, the road is likely to be closed for a number of hours.

[Barking and Dagenham Council @lbbdcouncil]

We are waiting to hear if this is having an impact on any roads and will keep you posted. https://t.co/GrkIZtr6ZG

River Road (IG11) (Both Directions) at the junction of A13 Alfred's Way (Barking By-pass) - Reports of a building fire. Expect delays in the surrounding area. #LondonTraffic https://t.co/iIiu84Awqt

Stay clear of Long Reach Road and River Road if you can. Another fire in similar location to last month. https://t.co/d5m4wsizGx

The area has some great 'Green Credentials', the Rivergate Centre boasts a lovely green roof, almost meadow like. Some of us are lucky enough to see this daily and enjoy it. @UELSRI we’re kind enough to give us a tour last year. #london #greenroof #ecology #barkingriverside

Lots of flooding on Movers Lane and the aptly named River Road. Take care

@BD_CVS @ThamesWardCP @BDcitizens @EastsideCH @riversideartdep @davidwilcox @SarahRo73368405 @BDPost @LFBBarkDag Plus they seemed to manage this morning. I didn’t see any issues with them arriving to the multiple scenes.

[Barking Riverside and Reach Residents @BarkingRiverRes]

@BD_CVS @ThamesWardCP @BDcitizens @EastsideCH @riversideartdep @davidwilcox @SarahRo73368405 @BDPost @LFBBarkDag That’s why they have lights and sirens. The roads aren’t too narrow to stop drivers pulling over even if it means on to a footpath for a few seconds to allow them through. And they can take bus lanes and no entry roads should they need.

May is the month for walking too! #walk #may https://t.co/3K2TGffsnE

[Barking Riverside and Reach Residents @BarkingRiverRes]

@BD_CVS @ThamesWardCP @BDcitizens @EastsideCH @riversideartdep @davidwilcox @SarahRo73368405 @BDPost You can’t really plan for entire roads being closed due to emergencies. The @LFBBarkDag have done a great job. It’s not ideal but I think saving lives and buildings should come above being a little late for work. Roads also just aren’t designed for this much traffic
