Smoke Control Areas
On 1st July this year, the North and South Stanley Wards became a Smoke Control
Area, thus completing the Council's programme to bring the whole borough within the
scope of the Act, with the exception of certain properties in the Norland, St. Charles,
Golborne and South Stanley Wards which have been exempted from the appropriate Smoke
Control Orders due to the proposed clearance of these areas for the construction of new
housing estates and road development, etc., and these will be kept continually under review
for any change of circumstances.
