This is the breakthrough we’ve fought for, recognition of what Rainham residents have known all along. The toxic fires that have plagued Rainham are not just a nuisance, they are a public health and environmental disgrace.

The declaration opens the door to remediation and, at long last, justice for the people of Rainham. To every resident who signed petitions, attended meetings, sent letters, and refused to be silenced, this victory belongs to you. The fight isn’t over, but today, we celebrate!

While the polluter should always pay, we are encouraged to see that Havering Council finally appear to recognise that they have a duty of care and candour to Rainham residents who have suffered exponentially - both mentally and physically - all summer.

This is the McLennan Avenue entrance to Spring Farm Park, covered in thick, choking smog. This isn’t early morning mist. This is what Rainham residents are forced to breathe every single day. Families, children, and elderly people walk through this park. 🧵

This is supposed to be a place for fresh air, exercise, and community! Where is the Council’s accountability? Rainham has been ignored for too long. We refuse to let our community be poisoned in silence. Enough is enough – we want answers and action NOW!

Terrible day for particle and ozone #AirPollution on Wednesday. National #PollutionAlert remains in force until 5pm Thursday. Relief for most on Thursday << Warnings from @MayorofLondon (and rain) may have helped save London from the worst HT @SadiqKhan @metecoban92
