Wates Residential said that the residents who have been moved out of the site for the regeneration have been guaranteed the right to return to the new properties.

The regeneration programme will involve the construction of approximately 3,500 high-quality new homes in Havering over the next 12 to 15 years.

Havering Council leader Councillor Damian White said: “This regeneration programme is not just about replacing and improving estates across the borough with new, fit for the future homes.

“We are hugely ambitious for Havering and our residents, by making sure that local people and businesses are at the heart of our joint venture, we can make sure they benefit through education, employment and skills training, and contracts being awarded locally.”
