REDBRIDGE Council's new Labour/Lib Dem cabinet unveiled new measures at its first meeting pledging to improve services, democracy and the environment.

The rolling back of doubled home care charges will be looked into and Ilford Central Library may open on Sundays as part of the new measures to improve services.

A trial school bus service for the borough will also be considered by the cabinet, and there will also be review of council planning guidance to provide more affordable housing for young people.

All seven area committees will play a greater role and the scrutiny process is also under review.

The new administration also say that the spending of money from developers will be done openly in the future and the annual budget will also be reviewed.

The cabinet agreed to look at Environmental Action Zones, which would earmark graffiti and litter hotspots, and nightclub owners who illegally flypost may be slapped with an anti-social behaviour order.

Park security will be reviewed and enhanced for the whole community. A scheme to clear ice and leaves from paths which the elderly and vulnerable use will also be looked into.

Political parties will also now be allowed to canvass in Ilford Town Centre.
