A new support hub is set to be opened to help small independent businesses in Redbridge.

The Enterprise Desk will be open from October 7 until June next year at Redbridge Central Library, in Clements Road, Ilford.

The council is using money from its New Homes Bonus to fund the project designed to help businesses based in the borough.

Free support includes use of library and online resources, one-to-one mentoring, access to computers, networking events and workshop.
