Works begin to clear asbestos from wool shed roof

BY DAKOTA TAIT

Work has started to remove asbestos from the roof of the surviving wool shed building at Wickham. 

Newcastle MP Tim Crakanthorp says a local company is undertaking the work.

It's expected to take a fortnight, weather permitting. 

Waste from the demolished buildings is also now being moved. 

They're using sprinklers to keep the dust out of the air.
