Reconstruction of the first house in Leyton has finally begun, 2.5 years after the fire

Finally, encouraging news for those who left their homes after the disastrous fire in the village of Leyton and have been waiting for reconstruction since two and a half years ago.
After a delay, the first building permit has finally been issued and the construction of the new house is underway.
People's houses were destroyed in a fire in June 2021, when most of the village was burnt. Since then, property owners have faced long delays in rebuilding efforts, even holding a rally in October to draw attention to the issue.
Layton Mayor Denis O'Connor said: "This is the third Christmas that people have been out of their homes and away from their community, so it's a long time and it's hard to think about.
But the mayor says things are now moving in the right direction, and a number of other homes and businesses, including a grocery store, have begun the permitting process.
