Asbestos find forces historic hotel to close off 56 roomsAsbestos find forces historic hotel to close off 56 rooms (Evening Times)
A HISTORIC Glasgow hotel has been forced to close 56 rooms after deadly asbestos was discovered. The Quality Central Hotel in Gordon Street has been issued with the prohibition notice following a routine inspection by city council environmental health officers. An initial probe at the A-Listed building showed asbestos was present in a pipe in a fire escape and council experts carried out a further inspection. A large part of the three-star, 222-room city centre hotel, which has entertained top stars and underwent a £3million refurbishment in 2006, is now out of bounds. A council spokesman said: "Serving a prohibition notice is not something environmental health officers do lightly. "They would only do so if they believed there was an on-going danger and risk to health. "They would not issue such a notice if asbestos had been found undisturbed but only if they thought it was in a condition which was a risk to someone's health. "That tends to be when there are fibres in the air or the potential for there to be fibres." The prohibition notice, which has closed a "substantial" part of the hotel was served under the Health and Safety at Work Act to protect workers, guests and other visitors. James H |
