I remember men in one piece white suits and masks turning up at Felindre Works to remove aspestos from under the roof, we had been working there for years with no protection. Many people still have aspestos roofs on their garages, even some on our street. ..... Because it can be costly to remove and dispose of aspestos too many are paying "cowboys" to get rid of it, and a lot too much is getting Fly tipped..
I worked in Carmarthen Bay when it was being decommisioned , "snow" ball fights were the norm , Plenty of outhouses around by me still have corragated sheets of the stuff which is considered safe unless cut or creating dust
