Social housing and asbestos
See notes
I am looking to find out how many homes in your local authority housing stock are identified as having asbestos. Please answer the following questions:
1. What is your total housing stock under your Local Authority’s management?
2622
2. How many homes under your direct ownership or management have been recorded to have asbestos?
1960
3. How many homes under your direct ownership or management have you deemed may contain asbestos but have not had checks undertaken?
662 - GRS
4. How many homes under your direct ownership or management with asbestos are currently occupied?
Not able to provide this information
5. How many homes under your direct ownership or management are suspected to have asbestos are currently occupied?
Not able to provide this information
6. Can you confirm if you policy is to inform residents living with a home owned or managed by you, which contains asbestos that their home contains asbestos? Residents are provided with a asbestos awareness leaflet at sign up of the tenancy, we can provide a PDF Asbestos report on request
7. Or can you confirm if your policy is to not inform residents living with a home owned or managed by you that they are living with asbestos?
N/A
8. Please provide a summary of how you manage asbestos risk in homes owned or managed by you, where the homes are occupied.
When a property becomes void (empty) and there is no asbestos survey on file, a management survey is undertaken. Prior to any capital upgrades a refurbishment and demolition survey is undertaken. Residents can access an asbestos awareness leaflet on the council website under housing. And communications are planned for general awareness.
