Colne House and Mersea House face significant safety issues due to combustible cladding and asbestos risk. The council is considering demolition instead of costly repairs.
The Barking and Dagenham Council acknowledges that repairing the towers would cost around 38.3 million and disrupt residents' lives significantly, prompting exploration of alternative solutions.
A report reveals the possibility of demolishing both tower blocks at an estimated cost of 15.4 million, though uncertainty remains about relocating residents during this process.
Long-term plans for the Harts Lane Estate include a 721 million redevelopment project expected to build new homes over 20 years, contingent on financial feasibility.
