Residents in Rainham are frustrated over the lack of action from Havering Council regarding two abandoned HGV trailers on New Road. Colin Giles, a local resident, reported one trailer had been there since February 2024 and another since Christmas, with both contributing to increasing fly-tipping in the area. The council cited the high cost of removal as a reason for inaction. Concerns have been raised about the proximity of these trailers to local schools and the potential health hazards, including asbestos. Community frustration grows as residents feel neglected by local authorities.
"I reported it and I know friends and neighbours who have also reported it, so they [the council] are well aware of it. The residents feel that Rainham's just being dumped on."
"One of the trailers contains asbestos - which Havering Council has not confirmed with this paper. If it was in another part of the borough would the trailers still be there now? I don't think so."
