Cathall

It became one of Britain's poorest areas with extreme levels of poverty and crime.

[citation needed] Cathall estate and the surrounding area of Leytonstone has often been known to have a large gang culture.

Similar Housing Action Trust schemes were set up across Waltham Forest and Tower Hamlets in East London, Brent in North West London, Liverpool, Hull and Birmingham.

Despite widespread opposition, it was announced in 2015 that the Community-Based Housing Association would be taken over by the Peabody Trust.
