The dangers of asbestos in our schools was highlighted tonight on ITV News. Seems local authorities throughout Britain are doing little or nothing to safeguard pupils. If you are a parent you should read this:

Yeah, you are right, there is a lot of asbestos in the local schools.

Great stuff really, brilliant stuff for the building trade, except it kills you!

As long as it is not disturbed then there is no problem with it, possibly safer to leave it where it is than pull it out, but this does not appear to be the case in some schools (according to the article).
