NIUE considers asbestos sea dump
Updated
Four years on from cyclone Heta, and the island of Niue is still trying to decide what to do with sheets of asbestos which were damaged in the storm.Some of it has been temporarily stored near the airport, but there are still many houses around the island with asbestos roofs that need removing.The government says it won't make any decisions until all the asbestos has been gathered and safely stored.But an opposition MP has called for Niue to follow the Cook Islands lead, and dump it at sea.
