Weeks after a devastating fire tore through the Forest Gate Police Station on Romford Road, sections of the road and a nearby residential street remain closed to the public. The blaze, which occurred on March 6, has caused significant structural damage to the building, raising concerns over potential falling debris and prompting an ongoing closure for safety assessments.

The fire, which required the efforts of approximately 175 firefighters to extinguish, has not resulted in any reported injuries. However, it completely destroyed the roof and parts of the upper building, leading to prolonged road closures and bus diversions in the area. The immediate vicinity around the police station, located in the borough of Newham, has been cordoned off as surveyors and structural engineers assess the stability of the building and the risk to public safety.
