Any advice on the sort of bags i should use?
Although I have been a member of the Forum for a while, I have not posted yet, as I wanted to make sure I knew my stuff before pontificating. But this is something I have had a bit of experience with.I would say, under no circumstances whatever, touch or move the asbestos. Don't let anyone else remove it either; whether well meaning committee members or otherwise. If anything goes wrong - such as a bag splitting - you will be held responsible. Also, if the Council are aware of it, they can come back in a few months and ask you what happened to it. All you'll be able to say is "I don't know", or "A nasty man came and stoled it!!".Years ago, I used to transport asbestos in custom made skips, and the regulations we had to comply with were mind boggling. Now - several years later - you can guarantee the list will be a great deal longer and more complicated. I wouldn't go near the bloomin' stuff if I were you. The plot owners have taken money from you for something that is not only unfit for its purpose, but is a serious health hazard. Please, please, please - get Environmental Health on the case straight away.
Enviromental health refered me back to the council and said it is the councils responcibility. Can i go back to the EH agency and insist they take this up on my behalf?
