Smoke Control Areas
During the past year progress has been well maintained, and in March, 1962,
the Committee's revised proposals for completing the Smoke Control programme by
1970 were approved. In April, 1962. the Council made an Order in respect of the
No. 4 Area, which was confirmed in September and will come into operation on the
1st July, 1963. This makes a total area of 641 acres subject to Smoke Contiol
Orders, which is 27% of the Borough. A Survey of the proposed No. 5 Smoke
Control Order has been completed and it is hoped to make a Smoke Control Order
early in 1963. This will cover 173 acres.
