Asbestos inquiry under way at high school

Two janitors at an Aberdeen school may have been exposed to asbestos along with a worker, a union has claimed.

An investigation is ongoing at Bridge of Don Academy after concerns the worker was exposed to the substance during maintenance. Aberdeen City Council said it expected the school to reopen after the summer holiday. But Unite said it should stay closed until asbestos has been removed. Union spokesman Tommy Campbell said: “We are in the dark as to whether the damaged asbestos has been removed.”
