Becontree: How Europe’s largest council estate coped with the pandemic Rachael Burford The design of Europe’s largest council estate, which was built in aftermath of the Spanish flu pandemic, may have protected people living in the “Covid triangle”. More than 100,000 people live on the Becontree, in Dagenham, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. During the height of the second wave of coronavirus, Barking and Dagenham consistently recorded the highest infection rates in the country and the council estate, where an estimated 70 per cent of households live in deprivation, was singled out as a particular hotspot. The borough has seen 531 coronavirus-related deaths up to March 5 and more than 23,000 confirmed cases since the beginning of the pandemic.
