Liverpool Council to Spend £4M to Remove Asbestos from School Playing Fields
The Liverpool Council is set to allocate nearly £4 million to remove asbestos from the playing fields at two special schools in Fazakerley. The schools, Redbridge and Bank View, opened in 2015 but were found to have asbestos fibers under the topsoil in June 2023. After discussions, the council approved a plan in February 2023 to remove the asbestos during the August summer break. The cleanup will involve stripping topsoil and replacing it with clean material. The budget also includes upgrades to play areas and tackling invasive weeds. Local leaders have expressed concerns about the delay, fearing risks to students health.
