During the year 1962, five further Smoke Control Orders were made by the Council
in respect of areas Nos. 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. The No. 9 Smoke Control Order was
confirmed by the Minister of Housing and Local Government and came into operation
on 15th November, 1962. Nos. 10 and 11 were confirmed by the Minister and are
to come into operation on 1st July, 1963. In the case of the No. 12 Smoke Control
Order, an objection on several grounds was lodged by a local resident and the
Minister had made arrangements for a public inquiry to be held early in January,
1963. The No. 13 Smoke Control Order made late in 1962 was still awaiting confirmation
by the Minister at the end of the year. Survey work on areas Nos. 14 and 15 had
been commenced before the end of the year, and preliminary arrangements were also
in hand for dealing with areas Nos. 16 and 17.
The following table gives details of the progress of the Council's programme by the end of the year:—
