Smoke Control Areas
During the past year continuous progress has been made, and in January, 1963,
the Council made an Order in respect of No. 5 (Ravenscourt) area, which was
confirmed in August and will come into operation on the 1st July, 1964. In July
the Council made a variation order to No. 3 (Addison) Smoke Control Order to
exempt those private dwellings in the area of the development scheme to be
carried out by a Private Company. This makes a total area of 805 acres
subject to Smoke Control Orders, which is 35% of the Borough. A survey of the
proposed No. 6 (St. Stephens) Smoke Control area has been completed and it is
hoped that the Smoke Control Order will be made early in 1964. This will cover
121 acres.
