A landlord was fined over 5,000 for failing to maintain a safe home for a mother and her children.
Ray Morgon, leader of the council, said: "We are in talks with the landowner about putting a temporary solution in before next summer to stop the fires until he can implement a permanent solution, either through putting forward a planning application on developing the land, that should include solving the problem for good, or through some other means." The Havering Residents Association leader told the Local Democracy Reporting Service the council's approach with the polymer seal should "last long enough to cover time needed for the permanent solution by the landowner".
It is the nephew who bought the estate and had the current manor house rebuilt (or, rather, paid others to do the work) on the site of an older manor house. In 1869, the estate was purchased by the local government and is now owned by Havering Council, which has since redeveloped it as a recreation centre, known as the Bretons Outdoor Recreation Centre.
