CLEAN AIR EXHIBITION
This Exhibition was held in the Assembly Hall from Friday,
19th February to Wednesday, 25th February, 1959 from 11 a.m. to
8 p.m. each day, including Sunday, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The Exhibition was opened officially by His Worship the Mayor,
who was supported on the platform by the Chairman of the Public
Health Committee (Alderman Mrs. Mary Marock), the Chairman of
the Public Relations Committee (Mr. Councillor E.J. Edwards),
Mr. Alderman A.E. Cotton, the Deputy Town Clerk and the Medical
Officer of Health.
The Exhibitors included the London Electricity Board, the
National Industrial Fuel Efficiency Service, the Coal Utilisation
Council, the South Eastern Gas Board and the Lambeth Borough
Council.
The Borough Council's exhibit was prepared by the Public
Relations Officer in conjunction with the Public Health Department.
This particular stand proved a great attraction to officers of
other local authorities who attended the Exhibition, and their
comments were very favourable.
The information desk was staffed throughout the Exhibition
by the Smoke Inspectors.
Whilst perhaps the number of people attending was not as
large as one would wish, the number and type of enquiries received
regarding smoke control areas, adaptions and the various types
of appliances on view justified fully the amount of time and
labour expended, and in this connection alone it would be true
to say that the Exhibition was a success. The 'outside' exhibitors
all expressed their satisfaction with the attendance and number
of enquiries.
