The Islington Gazette reported on 4th April 2007, that a local woman, Cheryl Marsh aged 49, had won compensation after being exposed to asbestos.
She grew up on the Brecknock Road Estate in Holloway, and whilst playing as a teenager, she and other children used to hang out in the boiler rooms to escape the cold. This area was covered in asbestos dust. She was also exposed to asbestos later when she was employed by Islington Council on a motorcycle scheme.
She was diagnosed as suffering from mesothelioma, a fatal asbestos related disease in 2004.
