The council was criticised for not releasing asbestos reports for more than a year (Image: Google Maps/Canva) Leaseholders on a council estate were not told about asbestos risks in their homes until more than a year after they were flagged up in reports. Surveys carried out on the Noel Park estate in Wood Green during late 2019 and early 2020 showed a high risk of asbestos in some flats – but council housing arm Homes for Haringey only released them in March this year following direct requests from leaseholders. Electrical surveys undertaken at the same time, which concluded that existing systems failed safety standards, were also not released to leaseholders until they were requested.
