Liverpool Council has spent tens of thousands of pounds to rid St John’s Market of “high risk” asbestos.
Details made public about contracts awarded by the local authority show that following a routine inspection in March of this year, “high risk” minerals were located within the popular city shopping centre. In a statement, Liverpool Council confirmed these were in non-public areas of the market.
As a result, the city is spending around £39,000 to make the area safe.
