East Anglian Daily Press 29th Sept 2007 reported that a jagged sheet of asbestos was left in the lobby of a Norfolk holiday park potentially exposing guests and staff to the deadly dust.
An environemental health officer, carrying out a routine inspection of Secroft Holiday Park in Hemsby, near Yarmouth discovered badly broken insulation board, and asbestos debris litttering the floor of a bolier room whence the insultaion board had been removed.
Highlighting the fact that members of the public were exposed to risk, Yarmouth magistrates fined the company a total of £18,750 with £860 costs. The park had already received a caution in 2004 for not dealing with asbestos properly and that was why the council was prosecuting.
