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.
The total number of complaints of nuisance received was 2,179, as against
3,114 in 1926. 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, 144 statutory
notices were issued, as against 182 in 1926.
Of these notices, 102 related to ordinary nuisances (dirt, dampness, etc.), 23
to verminous rooms, 2 to drains, 2 to water supply in tenement houses, 14 to
insufficient dust bins and one to insufficient W.C. accommodation.
The 23 notices respecting verminous rooms were served under powers contained
in the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1922, and referred to
37 rooms.
In 2,035 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 3 instances there was failure to carry out works after
receipt of statutory notice and legal proceedings were instituted.
Details of these cases will be found under the heading " Legal Proceedings in
connection with nuisances."
The total inspections made by each inspector, and the number of nuisanaes
of various kinds detected and remedied, are set out in the following table :—
