Wickham residents have gathered for a public meeting overnight amid growing concerns about asbestos fallout from the devastating wool store fire on Tuesday.
They’ve been told to report asbestos finds on their properties to the EPA on 131 555 so the spread across the area can be mapped.
Air monitoring so far has come back clear, however residents have been told to wet down asbestos particles in their yards with water using an atomizer spray.
A major clean up operation is expected to start soon, with contractors using special vacuum equipment to clean up streets, parks and private properties.
Islington Public School is closed today, however students will be welcome to attend at Tighes Hill Public.
