from two residents.
Westbourne No. 1 Order. Order made but one objection made.
Inquiry held by the Minister of Housing and Local Government
and Order confirmed with an operation date of 1st November,

Westbourne No. 2 Order. Preliminary survey is being carried
out.
During the year the Clean Air section has been strengthened
by the appointment of a Technical Officer to assist in matters
associated with the adaptation of domestic fire grates, and the
Council's programme to make the whole of the Borough
"smokeless" by 1968 should be attained provided that progress is
not retarded by the Minister having to hold formal Inquiries to
hear objectors before confirming Orders, by any other circumstances
beyond the Department's control, and provided our staff position
does not deteriorate numerically.
