Harrow Council acknowledged mistakes were made during an investigation into a health and safety incident in which asbestos and syringes were taken to a public tip.
Its latest annual health and safety report – covering 2019/20 – outlined several issues surrounding the fallout of the incident, which happened in June 2019.
The fly-tip was picked up by Harrow Council housing caretakers in Grange Farm Estate and taken to the Civic Amenity Site, in Forward Drive.
Once it was at the site, it emerged the waste contained asbestos sheeting and split plastic bags holding needles, syringes and medicine jars.
