uplander Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 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.

alice Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks for doing that - its not only dangerous but illegal too. I'll see if it's there tomorrow.

SteveT Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I am relieved they are doing something about clearing the site, it's been an eyesore for months.

James Barber Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 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.

James Barber Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 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.

ruffers Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 They left an advert saying that they were a company you can use for asbestos removal.That's not an asbestos warning or notification by any stretch of the imagination... I'm assuming there was something more or this is just scaremongering.
