It is proposed that the Smoke Control Order should be applied
to all properties within the area, with the exception of four
commercial and industrial premises (only one of which has been the
subject of complaint in the past), where it is considered that the
maximum amount of smoke permitted can be controlled by other
sections of the Act now in force.
Preliminary approval of the Minister of Housing and Local
Government has been obtained. As a result of a preliminary survey
it has been estimated that the number of adaptations to domestic
fuel burning apparatus which may be required to avoid contravention
of the Order is 3,100. Steps are being taken to carry out a detailed
survey of the premises included within the area with a view to the
Order coming into operation on 1st October, 1959.
A publicity campaign is to be instituted and members of the
public are being advised of the circumstances in which a grant
will be available from the Local Authority towards the cost of
adaptation required to domestic fuel burning apparatus in premises
within the area.
The following inspections were made by the Public Health and
Smoke Inspectors during the year.
