This week, specialized asbestos removers can register for the assignment. “It is not clear whether Boy Limmen will register for the assignment,” says the municipality spokesperson.
Already started myself
A number of local residents have already contacted a company, which has also started cleaning. “Some have heard that they will not be reimbursed because they are not ’causer’. I also have no certainty that my insurer will cover it,” responds Wouter Schouten.
Now that the insurer of the car garage is having the remediation work carried out, he does not know whether he will still be held liable as a local resident. “I no longer have to engage a company myself, but I do have to inform my insurance company. Will I still have to pay the costs? It is still unclear to me who is really responsible.”
What exactly this means for residents and entrepreneurs will be “examined as quickly as possible,” according to the municipal spokesperson.
