An Appeal was heard at the New River Petty Sessional Court held at the Town Hall on
3rd October, 1961: The appeal was against the service by the Council of a Notice under
Section 109 of the Act in respect of 40 Ecclesbourne Road. The Justices ordered that the
tenant should do the work to comply with the requirements of the Notice. It was subsequently
understood that the owners took over the question of repair work, and that this was proceeding.
Disinfection and Disinfestation (a) General

The department also undertook the disinfection of wards in a number of hospitals

In addition the routine disinfection of pillows and woollen blankets from a
hospital in the Borough continued for the purpose of reducing the likelihood of
infection, particularly of staphylococcal infection.
