NEIGHBOURS are fed up with a lack of action on two derelict and abandoned homes they say are not only an eyesore, but could pose an asbestos risk to the community.

The two unsecured homes, on the corner of Maude and Ernest streets at Belmont, sit on a site previously approved for a $6.9m multi-storey apartment complex with a commercial space on the ground floor.
