SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA
Whilst the full establishment of sanitary inspectors was not attained, the fact that
fewer staff changes occurred during the year made possible the steady resumption of house to
house inspections in those streets considered most in need of this action.
Little change was noticeable from the previous year's experience regarding the readiness
to comply with sanitary notices. Whilst the majority of statutory requests met with a
fairly quick response, there still remained a hard core of recalcitrant property owners who
delayed carrying out works until the last possible moment.
