Hammersmith and Fulham LBC is to take back ownership of two housing estates 12 years after they were sold off by a previous administration.

The authority's Labour leader, Stephen Cowan, has revealed ownership of the Gibbs Green and West Kensington estates is to pass back to the council following the former Conservative administration's decision to sell them off in 2012 for £105m.
