Newsshopper.co.uk 15th August 2007 reported that people living on a housing estate in Kent have been advised not to dig their gardens for fear of turning up asbestos.
The Wallhouse Road estate in Slade Green was built orginally as a council estate in the 1950s. It is now owned by Orbit Bexley Housing Association, which commissioned a soil investigation now being carried out by a specialist company.
There have been asbestos scares in the area before. Ten years ago, a whole series of discoveries of buried asbestos were made close to the street. All the sites were near the former TAC asbestos factory which used to be located in Manor Road, Erith.
In 1997, a former TAC worker claimed to News Shopper the company had dumped waste asbestos all over the Slade Green area and beyond.
