TfL Ref: FOI-2769-2425

Thank you for your request which we received on 27 November 2024.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs) and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold the information you require. 

Please find attached the asbestos information for Finsbury Park as requested.

In public areas the vast majority of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) are contained behind station finishes and cannot be accessed by the general public. Where areas of ACMs interface with the general public they are in a position where they cause no risk to the general public or staff. 

All stations accessed by the public and staff are re-inspected on a periodic basis to ensure that no adverse damage has been caused to change this status. If it is assessed and the status has changed for any reason, then a risk assessment is undertaken which will result in either encapsulation, encasement, or removal.

We have processes and procedures in place to ensure that the management of asbestos is carried out in compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed. 

Yours sincerely
