Does anyone have any knowledge of asbestos hazard. A number of large pile of the stuff have

been piled against the fence at the old Banfield woodyard site on the junction of Barry and

Underhill Road.I thought it was dangerous to break it up and expose the fibres ?


I drew it to the attention of Southwark Envir. Enforcement who were in attendance yesterday evening

investigating the large bonfire but they didn't seem to have any knowledge.

Another resident asked me about this and I referred this to Southwark Enforcement Officers on Monday.

Late yesterday they referred me onto the H&S Executive.

I've reported the incident and have been given reference number 02855374 and will apparently be emailed a report about this incident in the next 3-5 days.

Hi northlondoner,

That's very kind of you but my wife and young kids patience is close to breaking point with all the current campaigning as it is.

Also, I think having a normal day job helps me bring useful perspectives to how the council runs - apart from also paying the mortgage.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
