Kia ora neighbours, asbestos has been found in the grounds of Oratia District School, and almost a year later, it is yet to be removed.

The asbestos was detected, along with concentrations of lead, mercury and arsenic, in soil at the school more than eight months ago.

Leo Foley, who has two children at the school, and was on the board of trustees in 2022, said he is increasingly worried the issue hasn’t been fixed.

“The area has been cordoned off, but I’ve witnessed multiple children playing there as it’s very easy to get around.”
