Smoke Control Areas
During the year, the Council decided to make a Smoke Control Order
in respect in those parts of St. Charles and Golborne Wards bounded on
the north by the borough boundary,, on the east by the borough boundary,
on the south by the centres of North Pole Road, St. Quintin Avenue,
Chesterton Road, Portobello Road and Lancaster Road, and on the west by
the borough boundary» It has an area of approximately 356 acres (map
reference No. 13).
The detailed survey showed that the total cost of adaptation will
be approximately £58,910 of which, after deducting Exchequer Grant and
the cost for which private owners will be responsible, the Council will
be responsible for payments amounting to £22,365.
The Order was made on 22nd July, 1969 and was confirmed by the
Minister of Housing and Local Government on 29th October, 1969, and
cited as the St. Charles and Golborne Smoke Control Order, 1969° The
date of operation will be 1st October 1970.
The requirements of the Smoke Control Order extend to the smokeless
ignition of authorised solid fuels and there is little doubt that the
best method of achieving this is by gas0
For those buildings or separately occupied parts of buildings which
are without a gas supply, an exemption may apply so that sticks and
paper may be used for kindling purposes provided an authorised fuel is
used0 Provision for such an exemption is included in the Order.
