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 2,600, as against 2,335 in 1930. 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, 84 statutory notices were issued, the figure
being 79 in 1930.
Of these notices, 58 related to ordinary nuisances (dirt, dampness, etc.), 8 to
verminous rooms, 8 to drains, 3 to insufficient w.c. accommodation, and 7 to
insufficient dustbins.
The 8 notices respecting verminous rooms were served under powers granted
by the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1922, and referred to 20
rooms. The number of notices in 1930 was 9.
In 2,510 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
connection with Nuisances."
