How to Sign Up for the One Borough Newsletter from Barking and Dagenham Council

Updated

You can sign up for the One Borough newsletter through the subscription link published on lbbd.gov.uk, the official website of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The link opens the council's mailing list form, where you enter your details to receive council updates by email. The site does not state a fee or a login requirement for this sign-up, so treat cost and access terms as unconfirmed until you see them on the form itself.

What the One Borough Newsletter Is

The One Borough newsletter is the council's email bulletin for residents and others interested in the borough. The website presents it as a way to keep up with council news and updates. The exact publishing frequency and the full list of topics covered are not specified in the available site information, so check the sign-up form or the council's pages for current details.

Step-by-Step Sign-Up

  1. Open the sign-up link. On lbbd.gov.uk, the newsletter prompt reads "Sign up to our One Borough newsletter." Following it takes you to the council's mailing list form at lbbd.us11.list-manage.com.
  2. Enter your details. The form is hosted on the council's mailing list platform, so you will be asked for the contact information the form requires — typically an email address and, depending on the form, a name.
  3. Confirm your subscription. Mailing list forms commonly send a confirmation email. If one arrives, open it and follow the instructions to activate your subscription.
  4. Check the result. After confirming, you should receive the newsletter at the address you provided. If nothing arrives, check your spam or promotions folder and confirm that you completed any confirmation step.

What to Expect and Common Snags

  • The form is off-site. The sign-up is handled on the council's mailing list platform rather than on lbbd.gov.uk itself. This is normal for council newsletters, but it means the page will look different from the main website.
  • Consent and privacy. The form will explain how your details are used. Read that information before submitting.
  • Unsubscribing. Mailing list emails usually include an unsubscribe link in the footer. The site information does not describe the exact process, so use the link in a received email if you want to stop.
  • No stated price or account. The available information does not mention a charge or a requirement to create a website account. Do not assume either way — confirm on the form.

Other Ways to Stay Informed and Pay on lbbd.gov.uk

The same website brings together common resident transactions, which the newsletter may point you toward:

Task Where it is on lbbd.gov.uk
Pay Council Tax Council Tax section — "Pay your Council Tax"
Pay a parking ticket (PCN) Parking section — "Pay a PCN"
Pay rent (council tenants) Housing section — "Pay your rent"

If your goal is simply to keep up with council news, the One Borough sign-up is the direct route. If you need to complete a payment or check a service, use the relevant section above rather than waiting for a newsletter.
