East Hall Farm
Havering Council is reviewing its contaminated land strategy and considering its position on Zane's Law, a campaign for stronger landfill regulations.
Havering Council is reviewing its strategy for managing contaminated land, as reported in November 2025. This review is linked to the council's consideration of Zane's Law, a campaign advocating for stronger regulations and funding to address pollution from landfill sites. A council report in November 2025 noted that staffing constraints and focus on Arnold's Field had delayed the strategy review.
Zane's Law was launched following the death of Zane Gbangbola, whose family believes was caused by toxic gases from a flooded legacy landfill site. East Hall Farm itself is an Environment Agency landfill site identified as potentially being in or near medium or high flood risk areas, making the discussion of landfill pollution regulations pertinent.
