SCHOOLS - WASHING FACILITIES.
All schools in the Borough have been re-inspected and details
of inadequate facilities for sanitary conveniences and washing facilities
have been sent to the Education Officer of the London County
Council; as a result a considerable amount of work in this connection
has been carried out at these schools during the past year.
ANTHRAX
The Anthrax Prevention (Goat Hair & Shaving Brushes) Order 1961
which came into operation in November, repeats with modifications
earlier Orders now revoked, and prohibits the importation of certain
types of goat hair, yarns and Japanese shaving brushes.
NOISE
With the coming into operation of the Noise Abatement Act 1960
a number of complaints were received. The problems arose from amongst
other things, the loading and unloading of lorries during the night
time, engineering and building work at night and concrete mixing
machinery. So far, it has not been found necessary to institute
legal proceedings and there have been considerable improvements,but
at the end of the year one particularly serious nuisance was still
being dealt with.
