Asbestos left at Rosmoyle

'UNSCRUPULOUS' builders have been blamed for leaving potentially hazardous materials in a Craigavon residential area

Large black packages thought to contain asbestos have been left at the site of a demolished house in the Rosmoyle estate.

Residents have said they fear for their own safety and of children who could play with the dangerous substance.

Locals said an elderly woman had already injured herself in the site as she used it as a short cut.

"It's an eyesore as it is," said a member of the residents' committee.

"At first the house on the site was left abandoned and then after a fire it was demolished by the owner, but the rubble has never been removed and it is used by some for dumping.

"We have no idea what could be hidden underneath and the asbestos that has been dumped is a real concern.
