IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Waverley Gardens, ILFORD, IG6 1PJ

Looking south-southeast.

Planning permission has been granted by Redbridge Council under application number 0496/13/01 - “the space around the library will consist of new access provision and improved and expanded public realm, with the existing building untouched. The space between (Fullwell) library and leisure centre will consist of improved landscaping, improved and enlarged access provision to leisure centre, retention of mature trees and new loggia structure adjacent to existing spa wall incorporating small A3 kiosk and creating a new active frontage addressing the High Street. The space between the leisure centre and Virginia Gardens (as seen here) will consist of a new pocket park on the site of the existing terrace, incorporating soft and hard landscaping, new planting and a new A1 unit within a revised yard enclosure to the leisure centre”.

During the summer of 2008, Barkingside High Street received a street light replacement scheme to coincide with the installing of CCTV cameras. However, I can't see why this was necessary as CCTV cameras need "white" light to be able to give good colour rendition, but the light output on the older lamps was "white" anyway! The older lanterns were only installed in 2004, so they are still new! What a waste! View taken from the junction with Waverley Gardens looking south-southwest towards the Fremantle Road and Baron Gardens traffic lights.

The Sainsbury's store on Tanners Lane at its junction with the A123 Cranbrook Road and Barkingside High Street has its own private access road for staff to park their cars and deliveries (namely Sainsbury's lorries) to gain easy access to the rear of the store. I do think, however, that parking cars here is a very poor idea as there have been several collisions of Sainsbury's lorries with the lamp posts which light the road. I took this more for the lamp posts, but thought that this image was worthy to use as a Geograph.
