“The process was flawless, we chose the first home we viewed and it meant our daughter could stay at the same school. The council have done so much for us, we are so happy here.”

Josephine, a former Waterloo resident that was relocated to enable the regeneration works

Due to the current uncertainty regarding future building safety standards, Havering and Wates have taken the difficult decision to pause the construction at Waterloo and Queen Street, part of the 12 estates programme through our joint venture.

Both the Council and Wates remain committed to the Waterloo development and delivering these new homes as part of our partnership and will continue to work together to establish the best way forward.

We will continue to keep residents with the right to return to the development, neighbours, local businesses and the wider community informed.
