Demolition of pub in Yate delayed because of the discovery of asbestos.
Contractors charged with knocking down The Swan pub had to postpone work when a small amount of asbestos fibres were found, according to The Gazette.
The 19th century pub is being demolished as part of Tesco’s redevelopment of its shopping centre store. Spokesman Dan Bramwell said: “A small amount of asbestos was found.
“We had to go through South Gloucestershire Council’s statutory procedure which is why there was a delay. It has all now been cleared and the pub has been demolished.”
