GARDEN WAY

For anyone reading this from Garden Way: I have been assured by Council's Environmental Health officers that the risk from any asbestos within the hardcore used when the Garden Way houses were built in the early 70s is very low. It would have constituted no more than 1% of the waste material that was used as hardcore. The Council have publicised the allegation that the asbestos is possibly under your houses and gardens in the interests of openness, which I am pleased about. It will be investigated at some time in the future, along with all the other similar contaminated sites on the Island - over a thousand I understand. Such incidents were not uncommon for house-building at that time.
