The practice of a daily collection of waste food
and a fortnightly collection of other domestic refuse

(7) REFUSE DISPOSAL.
The refuse of the Borough, by arrangement with
the County Borough of East Ham, was taken to the
destructor works of that Authority.
(8) SANITARY INSPECTION OF THE AREA.
War conditions have limited housing repair
work to the minimum, but there has been a steady
improvement in conditions in general, associated
with a serious effort to prevent any deterioration
of the building structure. Notwithstanding
this, however, it is obvious that a large amount
of repair will be necessary in the immediate postwar
years to obtain the high standard which existed
before the war.
Arising out of the many inspections made for the
above purpose, it has been possible to build up a
picture of the housing need in terms of dwellings
which will be required.
