The science is clear, we are in the sixth mass extinction on earth. #XR is a campaign against government inaction. For a greener #Havering#ExtinctionRebellion
💥 Victory for Rainham! 💥
After years of smoke, frustration, and tireless campaigning, Havering Council has finally declared the Launders Lane site contaminated.
✅ We won! Justice for #LaundersLane ✌️✌️✌️
⚖️The court ruled the Council’s refusal to label Launders Lane contaminated was legally flawed. They ignored toxic smoke harms and lacked key fire data.
Big win for residents & environment—but we must keep pushing for action. #CleanAir
Well done to Havering campaigner Ruth Kettle Frisby who will today be talking at a summit on Zane’s Law in Westminster about Launders Lane and the ongoing fires.

🗣 What the Judge Said:
📌 “The community is stuck between a legal rock and a legal hard place.”
📌 “We are left with a site that is causing problems for residents who are left unprotected, and they are entitled to be protected.”

🚨 Launders Lane Court Hearing Update 🚨
🔹 Key Points:
✅The court considered in detail the statutory guidance on contaminated land (which hasn't, as far as we are aware, been subject to judicial review before).

Ruth is a truly incredible lady whose determination to make sure all Havering residents have the right to clean air has seen her take this legal action against Havering Council. @Ruthyphro
