#Ferodo went bankrupt paying out #asbestos claims to employees. Apparently, cleaning up their mess was NOT part of that pay out... So, they've been waiting for another business to clean-up and redevelop the site... But the only ones interested seems to be datacentres! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferodo https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/notorious-former-welsh-factory-thats-33148357 #FerodoSite #Wales #MakePollutersPay

And this one whistleblower case shows exactly how they’ve been shutting down any investigation into it for decades: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jul/18/london-underground-passengers-should-know-about-toxic-dust-risks-whistleblower-says
