CLEAN AIR ACT,195 6.
I am pleased to report that the appointment of a Clean Air Inspector and two
additional Public Health Inspector Trainees, who. together with the two existing
Public Health Inspector Trainees, devote half their time to Clean Air work, now enable
this section to function as a proper unit.
Snoke Control Area Nos. 1-6.
On the 1st February, 1960, the Council made six Orders, covering some 42 acres
and containing approximately 2,000 dwellings, at an estimated cost of £2,300. These
have been submitted to the Minister for confirmation for operation in the autumn of
1961. These areas, although small in size, are based mainly on post-war London County
Council redevelopment and constitute a useful implementation of smoke control in the
Borough at small initial cost.
Snoke Control Area Nos. 7-13.
Seven smoke control areas, covering approximately 180 acres, containing 3,300
dwellings, at an estimated cost of £1,400 have been prepared and it is hoped to submit
them to the Council early in 1961, with a view to their being confirmed by the Minister
for operation in the autumn of 1961. These areas, like the previous ones, are based
mainly on post-war London County Council and Poplar Borough Council housing redevelopment,
but contain some industrial and commercial premises interspersed. (For
location of areas, see map).
The plan is to expand these areas until the central portion of the Borough
is covered by Orders which are in preparation, then to deal with that portion of
