Yeh Cac it looks like part of an asbestos roof to me u can see the white edges, really should of been dealt with by the specialist asbestos team which Hyndburn Homes have contracted them to sort out asbestos related removals. As i learnt from the team 'white' abestos is not the seriously dangerous type but if broken the fibres get into the atmosphere into lungs, the technician of an asbestos specialist says anymore than 5 fibres found in that space would be classed dangerous & would have to be re cleaned, so even this should of been removed & disposed of with accordance to asbestos guidelines. Certainly not in a park where children particulary are at risk of knocking it over etc - the council should be accountable for this & a complaint should be logged to them or to the environmental health dept soon as that is very worrying being broken like that but also at risk from being broken more.
