Asbestos in two thirds of council homes as residents urged to call Town Hall before renovating – Hackney Citizen. Council officers are warning that asbestos is present in two thirds of council properties, with residents being urged to get in touch with the Town Hall before they do work on their own homes. Head of resident safety Donna Bryce’s comments came as she updated councillors on the Town Hall’s continuing work in managing and raising awareness of the dangerous material. It is understood that the amount of properties with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) is normal for a housing stock of the age of Hackney’s.
The council is working on the development of an online portal where residents will be able to access surveys and management plans, and has implemented training in asbestos management to all staff in order that residents’ inquiries can be dealt with without reference to management. Bryce said: “Giving information to residents is key. We’ve just appointed a new asbestos manager who is going to be responsible for all the asbestos in the housing stock.
