Caerphilly Council announce £800,000 project to remove asbestos from schools

Caerphilly County Borough Council is to embark on a two-year programme to remove asbestos containing materials from 37 of its schools.

The £800,000 project will see amosite asbestos products removed from school buildings

Once work is completed, 95% of Caerphilly county borough schools will be free from amosite asbestos, while 5% of schools affected will have remaining amosite asbestos materials over boarded and sealed.

Caerphilly County Borough Council Cabinet Members recently agreed funding for the asbestos removal works.
