Update: 16:30 | 10 July

Due to a mains water leak within the building, the spectator area at Mayfield Leisure Centre remains temporarily closed while essential repairs are carried out.

The gym, studios, swimming pool and changing village are now open and operating as usual.

We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.

As temperatures rise across the borough, let’s ‘Be Park Smart’ together ☀️

Sunny days bring more people out to enjoy our beautiful parks; families relaxing, friends meeting up, and neighbours making the most of Redbridge local facilities 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

With our green spaces getting busier, a little extra care from everyone helps keep them safe and welcoming spaces 💚

Redbridge showed up big at the 2026 London Youth Games 🏀🏑

A huge silver for our boys in basketball after a gritty run to the finals, and a well earned bronze for our girls in hockey after battling through a tough knockout stage.

From emotional last games to determined performances in the heat, these young athletes proved exactly what community, resilience and teamwork look like. Proud is an understatement. ❤️
