A London council has been fined ?66,000 after it knowingly exposed employees and visiting contractors to asbestos in the town hall basement for more than 10 years. Waltham Forest Borough Council commissioned a survey of the building in 2002, which identified asbestos in the basement. But the council made no effort to control it. Print room staff, who worked in the basement, and visiting contractors were among those exposed.
