Have your say in our ultra local discussion forums 

The Neighbourhood Matters discussion forums are designed to provide a safe online channel for sensible, constructive discussion between neighbours.  Registration to the Neighbourhood Matters forums is free, but we do ask that you abide by our rules. 

Terms of use

When you participate in neighbourhood discussions, you assign to the council a non-exclusive licence to use your content on the Redbridgei web site and in any other communications. 

The publishing of any content submitted by the user is at the discretion of the council and the council expressly reserve the rights to restrict the publishing of any material for whatever reason.

To participate in discussions within your local neighbourhood:

Unregistered users may view neighbourhood discussions, provided they enter a borough postcode, but will not be able to post a comment. 

  • Try to come up with a suitable, short, descriptive, subject heading for your discussion topic.
  • Enter your comment in the ‘message’ box.  As long as you abide by our rules, you may start a discussion about any thing that matters to you in your neighbourhood.
  • Once you have entered your comment, press the submit button and you will see a confirmation that your discussion was successfully created. 
  • You may choose to the filter discussions in the Neighbourhood Matters forums.  You can either view all discussions in your neighbourhood, discussions you have started, or discussions you have replied to.

Acceptable Content

The Neighbourhood Matters forums are post moderated (posts are published immediately and reviewed by our moderators after publication).

This feature has been developed to allow users to create topic threads about any manner of issues like:

  • local problems
  • share your knowledge of local information
  • feedback on services you have received
  • issues related to the area that you live, that you'd like to discuss with others

Some of the above are just guidance/suggestions of what Neighbourhood Matters should be used for.

Keep up to date
