			This project complements a £4.5 million capital scheme to make space for water and reduce the risk of flooding to 570 homes, 90 businesses (including the Ford Dagenham plant) major infrastructure (including Barking power station) and strategic development sites. The project was developed in partnership with Barking & Dagenham Council and the Land Restoration Trust (LRT), and provides BAP habitat within 53 hectares of regenerated open space. The local community were consulted on the design and investment came from the European Regional Development Fund, Thames Gateway Parkland Fund and the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme (LFTCS). The opportunity to make space accessible to existing and future communities was identified.

 |Lessons learn=The project won the CIWEM (Chartered Institute of Water and Environment Management) Living Wetland Award 2011 - the project showed what can be achieved when public, private and community groups work together. The project has helped to enhance biodiversity (12 hectares of new habitats have been created), improve flood storage capacity and provide a community resource.
