During the year 12 complaints were received of smoke and
grit emission, and 161 observations and inspections were made.
7 Intimation Notices were issued and it is pleasing to record
that the managements took remedial action on all occasions.
The Clean Air Act is amended by the Housing Act, 1964, so
as to enable a local authority, when making an order declaring
any area to be a smoke control area, to designate any class of
heating appliance as being unsuitable for installation in the
area because its consumption of fuel, or the time when the fuel
is generally used (e.g. electricity used at peak periods) is
likely to throw an undue strain on the fuel resources for the
area.
