3. (i) Closet Accommodation.
All the closet accommodation in the Borough is on
the water carriage system.
(ii) Public Cleansing.
House refuse continues to be dealt with at Bursted
Wood by controlled tipping and has been done without
nuisance and in accordance with the advisory instructions
issued by the Ministry of Health.
The life of this Tip is limited, and as tipping has
not been commenced in any other part of the Borough,
the Council have taken cognizance of the fact and alternative
methods of disposal are being considered to take
effect when the contemplated levelling and terracing at
Bursted Wood is completed. The levelled space will
then he a valuable addition to open spaces and playing
fields already provided.
