Officers were thereupon diverted to work of a remedial
nature. During the year and apart from the numerous
inspections made by the District Sanitary Inspectors,
the special Housing staff made a detailed inspection
(including measurements) of 1,354 houses. Arising
out of these visits of inspection, 651 notices' were
served on owners to effect repairs. A large amount of
remedial work arising out of the inspections recorded
above remained to be done at the end of the year, and
was then in hand.
As to general housing conditions of the Borough
there remains but little to add to what was said in last
year's Annual Report.
There is practically nothing to show for the year's
work so far as the reconstruction of unhealthy areas is
concerned. Furthermore no new houses have been
erected. But as in previous years the efforts of the
Sanitary Inspectors, supported when necessary by
legal notices authorised by the Public Health Committee,
have been the means of effecting a very large
amount of useful and necessary work in improving
individual houses.
