RIVERS AND STREAMS
The only water courses in the District are those provided by
the intermittent Bourne flows. These present no difficulties apart
from occasional rat infestation along the banks.
INSPECTION OF THE DISTRICT
It is the statutory duty of a Public Health Inspector to inspect
and have a thorough knowledge of the sanitary circumstances of
his district in order that action can be taken if necessary to abate
conditions that give rise to nuisance or are prejudicial to health.
Under the following headings comment is made on particular
aspects of the work, concluding with a summary of the complaints
received, visits made, notices served, works carried out and defects
remedied during the year.
Camping Sites
The Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act, 1960,
confers on Local Authorities powers for the control of caravan
sites and apart from improved planning powers it provides for a
system of site licensing to be administered by District Councils.

Site licence conditions in all cases require a water carriage
system of drainage, main water supply and fire precautions. In the
case of Dean Lane Park, communal ablution and laundry facilities
with a constant supply of hot and cold water are additional
requirements.
