Suspension Orders
During 1970 it became obvious that the supply of solid smokeless fuel would be
inadequate to meet the consumer demand during the winter of 1970/71. Accordingly, the
London Boroughs Association set up a working party to examine the situation and it was
finally recommended that each London borough should ask the Minister to make
Suspension Orders in respect of 40 per cent of its Smoke Control Orders, to cover the
period 1st November, 1970, to 31st March, 1971.
In Kensington and Chelsea this was achieved by asking the Minister to make
Suspension Orders for that period in respect of the following Smoke Control Orders:—
Kensington No.1 (Holland Ward No.1)
Kensington No.2 (Holland Ward No.2)
Kensington No.3 (Holland Ward No.3)
Kensington No.4 (Pembridge Ward No.1)
Kensington No.5 (Pembridge Ward No.2)
Kensington No.6 (Norland Ward No.1)
Kensington No.7 (Norland Ward No.2)
Chelsea No.1 (Church Ward)
Chelsea No.2 (Hans Town Ward)
These Orders affected 22,462 dwellings in 1,121 acres.
The Orders were successful in conserving fuel supplies. The supply of solid smokeless
fuels later improved substantially and it was not necessary to request the Minister to make
Suspension Orders for the winter of 1971/72.
