Road Markings are removed by scorching them off, releasing all kinds of hazardous by products, lead etc.
I've had occassion as a pedestrian to have to walk through the clouds that are produced, and this morning, an area of George Street was treated, and my flat was effectively fumigated.
The council's health and safety at work, must have looked at the impact on the workers doing this this job, so the data should be available?
Surely there is a better way of doing this than to force a (very local) population to be exposed to the equivalent of several thousand burning plastic bags?
Granted they did the work, at a very early time, but they don't always, and they didn't flyer the local residents.
Any idea how I proceed? Ideally they'd be required to change the methods through a court, but I have no idea how to start.
Thanks
