Well I love the atmosphere, I know all my neighbours, people smile back all the time, everyone seems kind of happy. For me it looks pretty safe, as there are events when police is involved, but very rarely. And there's lots of people with kids and animals, so I think it's safe, and anyways, it's mostly the parent's or owners responsibility.
Transport
Well I think communities in this area are great. We have C2C, National Rail, District & Hammersmith, Overground, which in total are more than enough. If there are no emergency matters, the trains always run on time. And buses? Not everyone can control the traffic. I can see drivers doing the best they can.
Community
In my opinion if you choose to live in East London Zone 4,you just have to be ready for the noise. There are schools and nurseries around, so it might be noisy at some places, but as an area, let's say comparing to East Ham - Extremely quiet.
Amenities
Everything seems to be not so bad. I see people mostly enjoy Barking Market and shopping centre. Sometimes, when I go to a park I see people with children quite often or people doing sports, which looks quite fun. What's missing you're asking me? PRIMARK!
It's definitely in need of regeneration.
It's definitely in need of regeneration. The streets should be cleaner, at the moment Barking looks like literally no institution is looking after it. It's loaded with rubbish on the streets, plenty of beggers and drunk people..
Transport
I don't travel much as I work from home, but I think most people are dissatisfied with lack of toilets in Barking station, because the one's there are - usually out of order.
Community
I'm a young person so I try to surround myself with people similar to my age. I recently moved in to Barking (3 months ago), so didn't have enough time to figure who lives around me.
Amenities
Everything seems to be kinda cool, apart from amenities that are missing. Would be pretty good having something that East Ham has - Deichmann, Primark or Sports Direct
Better than many areas I've lived or worked in.
Pet hates are the condition of road and paved surfaces, disjointed bus services in some respects, and unsuitability of many properties for disabled people, especially wheelchair / mobility scooter users. .
Transport
Already discussed for most part,; district line reaching upminster one way & central London the other. Mainline trains also go to central London or out to coastal Essex
Community
Parking very limited overall, estate road's, paved areas, drains appalling. Bin & large item collection above average, though road sweeping seems sporadic at best. Train/traffic noise level not bad generally, with a large park other side of railway, and a large cemetery between estate and A13.
Amenities
Plenty of local shopping areas (normally), though Barking mini-mall almost completely closed at present. Buses overall pretty good, but some surprising gaps of coverage, such as routes serving the larger supermarket branches, with 5 district line stations across south of the borough, & 2 mainline stations at northern end. Very traffic intensive in several places, particularly at peak times, & road surfaces / paved areas need major attention, particularly road drainage, especially as southern area is at risk of flooding.
There is not enough bars for people too go chill out or hav a drink.

I'd call the whole Barking dangerous. Too many drug addigts as well, and dealers.
