Inspection of District—
| Sanitary Improvements required. | |
|---|---|
| Back Lane | The main sewer needs ventilating. The defects in some of this property have been rectified. In conjunction with the Surveyor I reported on the condition of this property(see printed minutes page 463, 1899-1900). |
| White's Court | All the houses here except one have been re-constructed so as to form a Mission Room. The drains have been re-laid and ventilated. |
| Bifron's Square | More sanitary accommodation (this work is in hand). |
| Garden Place | The drains to these properties have been re-laid and ventilated. Extra w.c. accommodation has been provided, and flushing cisterns attached. The yards still urgently need to be pro-properly paved. |
| Suffolk Place | |
| Wellington Buildings | |
| Parson's Buildings | |
| Pad nell Place | |
| Lindsell's Court | This has been made up under the 150th section of the Public Health Act, 1875. |
| Orchard Avenue Gas Yard | I am glad to be able to report this Court has been paved throughout, and its condition is therefore much improved thereby. It has lately been taken over by the Council as a street repairable by the inhabitants at large. The condition of some of the houses is far from satisfactory. This road has been made up and paved. |
| Morgan's Yard | The sewers have been re-laid and ventilated, and the Court paved. |
| Factory Road and Emily Cottages | Drains having been examined, need relaying and ventilating. The back yards to this property should be concreted. |
| Park Terrace | Drains need re-laying and ventilating. |
| Albert Terrace |
