BROMLEY RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.
No. 2 SANITARY DISTRICT.
Sanitary Inspector's Office,
Farnborough.
April 29th, 1926.
To the Chairman and Members of the Bromley Rural
District Council.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Report for the
year ending December 31st, 1925.
Disinfection.—Fifty-three houses, or parts of houses, and
articles therein were sprayed and fumigated.
Water Supply.—One hundred and twenty-three visits have
been paid in connection with new houses, under Section 6
Public Health (Water) Act, 1878.
The extension of the Metropolitan Water Board's main
is very necessary in the various roads at Biggin Hill, where
the occupiers of a large number of bungalow dwellings are
still dependent on rain water storage for dietetic purposes,
and which is unsatisfactory.
Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops.—There are 32 Cowsheds,
one Dairy and one Milkshop. The register contains the
names of 10 Wholesale Producers, 23 Producers and Retailers
combined, and one Retailer only; 260 visits were paid during
the year, 58 sanitary defects found and 58 remedied.
Bakehouses.—There are 13 Bakehouses; 83 visits were paid,
32 defects found and 32 remedied.
Slaughterhouses.—There are 10 Slaughterhouses; 86 visits
were paid, 43 defects found and 43 remedied. A new
Slaughterhouse, for killing pigs only, has been provided at
Southwood Farm, Buckhurst Lane, Westerham Hill, occupied
by Dr. Rowlands.
Insanitary Dwellings.—The total number of Dwelling
Houses inspected for housing defects under the Public Health
or Housing Acts was 110; one was demolished, and one closed
as being unfit for human habitation by respective owners;
108 have been put into a reasonable state of repair, in compliance
with notices served upon owners of same.
