Nuisances.—In the following summary some idea of the amount of work
done in relation to nuisances is given. For details of other works carried out by
the inspectors, reference must be made to the sections dealing with housing, food,
infectious diseases, etc.
In regard to nuisances, the first point to note is that the total number of
complaints received was 3,114, as against 3,470 in 1925. The majority of these
complaints were made by the inspectors themselves, though a certain number
came from other members of the Council's staff, from voluntary health workers,
etc. In respect of nuisances, 182 statutory notices were issued, as against 370
in 1925.
Of these notices, 138 related to ordinary nuisances (dirt, dampness, etc.), 17
to verminous rooms, 11 to drains, 2 to water supply in tenement houses, and 14 to
insufficient dust bins.
The 17 notices respecting verminous rooms were served under powers contained
in the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1922, and referred to
20 rooms.
In 2,932 cases the nuisances were abated by the persons responsible for their
removal after receipt of a preliminary (intimation) notice advising them of the
existence of the defect. In no instance was there failure to carry out works after
receipt of statutory notice.
