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 2,335, as against 2,608 in 1029, and 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
workers of the St. Marylebone Health Society, members of the Children's Care
Committee, neighbours and others. In respect of nuisances, 79 statutory notices
were issued, the figure being 142 in 1929 and 370 in 1925.
Of these notices, 53 related to ordinary nuisances (dirt, dampness, etc.), 9 to
verminous rooms, 5 to drains, 1 to insufficient w.c. accommodation, 10 to
insufficient dustbins, and 1 to underground rooms.
The 9 notices respecting verminous rooms were served under powers granted
by the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1922, and referred to 16
rooms. The number of notices in 1929 was 17, and in 1925, 36.
In 2,256 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 1 instance there was failure to carry out works after
receipt of statutory notice and legal proceedings were instituted.
Details of this case will be found under the heading " Legal Proceedings in
ponnection with Nuisances."
