Individuals and organisations that would like to undertake asbestos training with Senergi (http://www.senergi.co.uk) may be interested to hear about a District Council's latest appeal to the public to help it to track down fly tippers, after it discovered asbestos abandoned in a country lane.
The Environmental Protection Team at Braintree District Council (BDC) spoke out after being alerted by a member of the public on 18th May to the presence of abandoned corrugated sheets of asbestos, at the side of a bridleway through agricultural land to the north of Rivenhall.
As well as affirming the negative effect of abandoned waste on the appearance of an area and the potential danger to wildlife and the environment in the absence of professional asbestos abatement techniques, the Council added that it was a drain on resources to clean the waste up, not least as it already spent more than £1 million a year keeping the district clean and tidy.
In a report by Dunmow Broadcast, Cllr Wendy Schmitt, Cabinet Member for Environment, said that there was "no excuse" for people thinking that "they can use our green areas as a dumping ground for their rubbish." She added that although the Council was "determined to stamp out this sort of irresponsible and anti social behaviour," it required the public's assistance in spotting and reporting such incidents, especially given the high rate of occurrence in rural areas.
The Environmental Protection Team can be contacted by anyone with information relating to this incident, or who would like to report environmental problems such as dog fouling, fly tipping and abandoned waste, on the confidential number of 01376 552 525, or via email at [email protected]. The Council is carrying out a wider investigation into the fly tipping of asbestos, and to this end has also requested calls from local members of the public that have made use of asbestos removal services in their properties in the last six months.
Those that would like to know more about asbestos and the precautions that are to be taken when in contact with the material are advised to visit the Council's website at http://www.braintree.gov.uk. Alternatively, as experts on asbestos testing and its subsequent removal, Senergi (http://www.senergi.co.uk) can provide you with advice relating to a wide range of circumstances.
