REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
FOR THE YEAR 1950
PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT,
TOWN HALL.
STOKE NEWINGTON, N.16
TO THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN AND COUNCILLORS
OF THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF STOKE NEWINGTON.
This Annual Report is presented in the abridged form required by
the Ministry of Health during the war years and subsequently but,
nevertheless, contains sufficient evidence of the essential value of the
work of the Public Health Department.
The work on sanitary inspection has been carried out very satisfactorily
throughout the year.
The Woodberry Down Estate has given the Senior Sanitary Inspector
a great deal of work, since during the year 500 flats were completed and
brought into occupation; 340 in conventional brickwork and 160 flats in
reinforced concrete. The work had already commenced on 109 cottages
and maisonettes in Green Lanes and on the Old People's Home in
Newnton Close, and substantial progress has been made on these works.
In addition, work was commenced on eight blocks of 25 flats each, in
Seven Sisters Road, a school in Woodberry Down, Abney Secondary
School and the Health Centre and Day Nursery in Green Lanes. All
drainage work, whether to new or old buildings, was supervised by the
Sanitary Inspectors.
