[edit] London Borough

Since when is Chadwell Heath part of Barking and Dagenham?? My family who live there come under Redbridge (and my school - that's in Chadwell Heath - would come under Redbridge's education authority, if we weren't grant maintained!) --SaraFL 13:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Moved from article: [Dispute - "Chadwell Heath" as a place name is not limited to LB Barking & Dagenham. Parts of RM6 in LB Redbridge are commonly referred to as Chadwell Heath. Halfords branch in RM6 (as an example) gives its address as Chadwell Heath, and the former Chadwell Heath Police Station - now the Eva Hart pub, is in LB Redbridge. LB Redbridge has a Chadwell Ward and two of the ward's councillors gives their address as Chadwell Heath.]

The correct place to sort such matters out, is on the talk page. Kbthompson 13:14, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I revised the text to try to show that the district spills over the borough boundary. There are a number of reasons why these things happen:

1. The post code comes to determine the name of surrounding places
2. Districts around stations come to be named for the stations
3. The historical core would be added to one borough, but further development has subsequently extended the settlement into an adjacent one. (Green areas often do that, the green and original development lies in one place, but building commences on the other side.
