Contact made with site owners Invererry Ltd 140 High Street Chesthunt Waltham Cross Hertfordshire En08 OAW, Who states that due to state of business that nothing is going to be done on site for some time, planning permission has been granted for housing, but due to cost of taking Geest building down, it will remain for some time, I have update the owner with complaints form local residents re youths entering the building and state of security, and the health and safety side of things, the company will do an site inspection asap, to see what can be done to improve security
