1994–2002 Redbridge council elections

The ward was adjusted on 1 April 1994 when the part of the Becontree estate in Redbridge was transferred to the new ward of Becontree in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. [8] The transfer united the whole of the estate in Barking and Dagenham. The adjustment transferred sufficient population out of the borough to require a decrease from three to two councillors representing the Goodmayes ward.
