CLEAN AIR ACT, 1956
The Minister of Housing and Local Government confirmed The
Lambeth (No.1) Smoke Control Order on 28th January, 1959. The
Order came into operation on 1st October, 1959.
In spite of assurances given by various Government Departments
regarding supplies of smokeless fuel auite a number of owners
and occupiers complain that they are unable to obtain adequate
supplies of this type of fuel.
During the year a circular was received from the Minister
of Housing and Local Government inviting Councils in "Black
Areas" to furnish information concerning the estimated number
of Premises and acreage of land to be covered by Smoke Control
orders made during 1959-63 (5 year Programme), the total number
is intended ultimately to cover, and the target year for the
completion of the programme.
In addition to the declared Smoke Control Area No, 1, bounded
on the north side by Prima Road, on the east by Brixton Road, on
south-west by Stockwell Road and on the west and north-west
ky Clapham Road, it has been decided to proceed with a further
two areas adjacent to the present area as follows
Area No.2
An area lying immediately to the south-west of Area No.1
being bounded on the north west by the south side of Stockwell
Park Road, on the east by the west side of Brixton Road, on the
south-west by Stockwell Road and on the west by the east side of
Clapham Road.
Area No. 3
An area lying immediately to the west and north west of Area
No.-2. being bounded on the north by Harl eyfordRoad andKennington
Oval, on the east by the west side of Clapham Road and on the
south-west and west by South Lambeth Road.
It is anticipated that with the area already declared, areas
Nos.2 & 3 Will cover the period from 1959 to 1962.
It is suggested that the years 1962 and 1963might be devoted
to areas in which there are already large properties which do not
require adaption, i.e. large blocks of flats built by the London
