- What is your total housing stock under your Local Authority’s management?
- How many homes under your direct ownership or management have been recorded to have asbestos?
- How many homes under your direct ownership or management have you deemed may contain asbestos but have not had checks undertaken?
- How many homes under your direct ownership or management with asbestos are currently occupied ?
- How many homes under your direct ownership or management are suspected to have asbestos are currently occupied?
- Can you confirm if you policy is to inform residents living with a home owned or managed by you, which contains asbestos that their home contains asbestos ?
- Or can you confirm if your policy is to not inform residents living with a home owned or managed by you that they are living with asbestos?
