In order to prevent a recurrence of overcrowding, the Sanitary
Inspectors pay special visits to all houses about to be vacated
by tenants who have been allocated dwellings on one or other of
the Council's Estates.
Nkwland Road Estate.—The 33 flats on land in Newland
Road will be ready for occupation in April, 1930, and will be
primarily used to allocate the worst known cases of inadequate
housing.
During 1929 there were 73 houses and 12 flats erected by
private enterprise, and 6 houses were converted into flats.
Details of the remainder of the Borough Housing Schemes
were set out in the Report for 1927.
MILK.
Dairies and Milkshopr.
At the end of the year there were 31 dairies within the
Borough and 35 other shops from which milk was retailed.
Eighteen dairymen supply milk within the Borough who
operate from other districts.
As the result of careful investigation it is estimated that the
total quantity of milk sold per week in the Borough is 363,144
pints, and the amount of milk consumed per head per day on the
basis of a population of 90,000 is about half a pint.
There are no cowsheds within the Borough.
The dairies and milkshops are inspected periodically and,
generally speaking, a high standard of cleanliness exists.
