ARTICIAL LIGHTING OF STAIRCASES
The artificial lighting of staircases in many blocks of flats in
the Borough is on the whole satisfactory.
Bye-laws were made by the Council in 1958 under the London County
Council (General Powers' Act 1956, requiring the adequate artificial
lighting of common staircases in tenement houses and flats.
Action was taken in 1959 under the Bye-laws, however, by way of
service of a notice on the owner of one tenement house, where no
artificial lighting had been provided to the common staircase. Suitable
electric lighting was subsequently installed and the notice complied
with during the early part of 1960
