public register of Contaminated Land
Havering Council is reviewing its contaminated land strategy and considering its position on Zane's Law.
Havering Council is reviewing its strategy for managing contaminated land, a public register maintained under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. A November 2025 council report stated this review has been delayed due to staffing constraints and focus on Arnold's Field. The council is also considering its position on Zane's Law, a campaign advocating for stronger regulations and funding to address landfill pollution.
Zane's Law was launched following the death of a child, whose family believes was caused by toxic gases released from a flooded legacy landfill site. No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss the public register of contaminated land.
