Are the private properties and businesses going to be able to carry on with work going on next to them, especially with asbestos?
Yes work can continue. – The demolition site will be secured by a 2.4 metre hoarding to ensure residents are kept safe from the works. The first operation, before actual demolition can commence, is the removal of all asbestos, by an approved specialist organisation. This ensures that the public are not exposed to any asbestos dust. A traffic controller will manage the arrival and departure of trucks from the site to again protect residents’ safety and to minimise the disruption to local traffic. The roof will be dismantled by hand first and the remainder of the building will be demolished from inside which will keep the amount of noise and dust to a minimum. All demolished material will be removed from the site to make way for new development.
