Agenda item

Asbestos Management and Remedial Works

Minutes:

Members noted that, in the week before the Christmas holidays, the Corporate Health and Safety Officer had found that follow-up work on the recent asbestos survey had not been done, affecting 46 properties on the Barbican Estate.  However, the Interim Assistant Director had actioned this immediately; working with Metwin and the resident engineer to seal the cupboards affected.  All affected residents were informed immediately and work is now underway to remedy the issue.   The Chair thanked the Assistant Director and her team for a very rapid response and the Executive Director thanked residents for their forbearance in a difficult situation.
