East london council being taken to court over 20 year long toxic landfill fire

A local campaigning group are trying to take Havering Council to court over a toxic landfill fire in Rainham that has been burning for years. It's so dangerous that the London Fire Brigade can't even go on the site anymore! Local residents are scared about the health impacts of breathing in toxic smoke, especially on their children and those with existing respiratory conditions. It is apparently sometimes so bad that they cannot go outside or even open their windows, which has been brutal during the past few years' heatwaves. They've been trying to get the situation resolved for years. Having clean air shouldn't depend on your postcode! They need to raise £16,500 to be able to bring the claim, as they're putting themselves on the line and this is what they might end up having to pay out personally if they lose the case.
