Complaints numbering 164 regarding rats and 93 mice were received
from all parts of the district and investigated.
No major rat infestations were found.
As in previous years the foul water sewers were treated on two occasions.
In April 140 manholes and side entrances were baited and takes recorded in 10.
The figures for the October treatment were 144 manholes baited and takes
recorded in 10.

COMMON LODGING HOUSES
There are three Common Lodging Houses within the district which take in
male lodgers. These have been regularly inspected and found to be well
managed.
The properties are old and suffer from structural defects, and are within
an area provisionally scheduled for clearance within the next few years.
MOVABLE DWELLINGS
The camping and caravan site of nearly three acres in the Crystal Palace
Grounds, established in 1951 and run by the Caravan Club of Great Britain,
continues to be occupied.
The site is well appointed and managed and is used by visitors to London,
an increasing number of which are from overseas. The period of stay is limited
to two weeks at the site.
PET ANIMALS ACT, 1951
This Act regulates the sale of pet animals. Licences were granted to five

based on those recommended by the R.S.P.C.A.
