I received a call from someone wishing to remain anonymous about this.

I contact officers immediately who emailed me back:


"Dear Councillor Barber,


There have been a number of enquiries about the above over the past week. Some of which have been anonymous."


"...team Leader of the Health and Safety team and a known expert in asbestos has visited the site..."

as have other Team Leaders in the Council's noise and nuisance team.


"...reported that there were asbestos cement roofing sheets that had been removed to a secure part of the site. The sheets were intact and presented no risk to public health. They spoke to the site operatives who advised him of the company that was employed to remove and dispose of the asbestos. Sailesh checked the information provided and can confirm that the company concerned are a reputable company licensed to remove and dispose of asbestos.


The enforcing authority for construction sites is the Health and Safety Executive" The HSE have been notigied of this site and the complaints received.


"...have dealt with a complaint about a bonfire on site. They visited the complainants property and were unable to witness a smoke nuisance. They advised the complainant to contact them again should the problem recur. The officers spoke to the site operatives and gave advice on what could and could not be burned on site. Essentially it is limited to diseased timber.


"Once the officers arrived on site, there was no activity. They walked around the site, could find no evidence of asbestos, but did come across some clear fibre glass sheets that may have been the concern of the anonymous compliant. The officers determined that these were not a risk to public health. However any operative working with this material needs to wear protective equipment. The one operative on site was advised of this.


I hope the above answers your enquiry, however if you wish for further information or details please do not hesitate too contact me.


Yours sincerely


Environmental Health & Trading Standards Manager

A resident contacted me on Friday morning about this, I immediately contacted Council Officers about it and they promptly went out to the site. They responded to me on Friday morning that evidence that sheets of fibreglass had been cut but no evidence of asbestos cutting was at the site. Please email me with any further issues with this site.

Thanks

Renata

      Council tax

      But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?

      Plumbing Recommendation - Trelco Plumbing

      I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.

      Council tax

      Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.

      Council tax

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
