Broadmead Road closure update:
‘more robust inspection’ required
Age UK invites over-55s to discover
what’s on offer at local activity centre
Redbridge Council has issued an update
regarding the closure of a section of
Broadmead Road: “Following agreement by
TfL, we plan to conduct a survey of the bridge
the week commencing 4 September. This will
allow us to complete a more robust inspection
and inform us if we need to do further work or
if we can open the road at a reduced capacity
and vehicular weight limit. In the meantime,
for your safety, we kindly ask people not to
move the cones and barriers to drive over the
bridge until further inspections are complete.”
Age UK is keen to raise awareness of its
activity centre in Wanstead (also known as
the Allan Burgess Centre). “The centre has
struggled to replenish visitor numbers since
reopening after COVID. We run daily exercise,
games and craft classes, and our fabulous new
chefs, Teresa and Julie, prepare freshly cooked
meals Monday to Friday,” said centre manager
Jackie Balman. Located at 2 Grove Park
(opposite the Co-op), the centre’s two-course
lunches (£7) are available to any Redbridge
resident aged 55 and over. Call 020 8989 6338
