M25 (Junction 28)
Havering Council is reviewing its contaminated land strategy and considering Zane's Law.
Havering Council is set to review its strategy for managing contaminated land, which includes an Environment Agency landfill site near M25 Junction 28. A report to the council stated in November 2025 that this review had not yet occurred due to staffing constraints and focus on Arnold's Field. The council is also considering its position on Zane's Law, a campaign for stronger regulations and funding for pollution from landfill sites.
Zane's Law advocates for addressing pollution from landfill sites, launched after a family believed toxic gases from a flooded legacy landfill caused a death. This broader context informs Havering Council's current discussions regarding its contaminated land strategy and potential adoption of the law's principles.
