Devastated Highbridge widow seeks answers over husband’s asbestos death

Peggy Ball, 64, from Highbridge, is appealing to her late husband Francis Ball’s former colleagues at the Port of Bristol and Bristol Council to come forward with information about how her husband was exposed to the asbestos that caused his death. Francis, known as Frank, died at the age of 66 in April 2014, following a short battle with mesothelioma, an incurable cancer of the lung lining caused by exposure to asbestos decades ago.
