PUBLICITY FOR CLEAN AIR PROGRAMME
As a result of the confirmation of the Ealing Nos. 19, 20, 21 and 22 and the Acton
Nos. 10 and 11 Smoke Control Orders, approximately 8,000 letters were circulated
to householders in the areas concerned, giving them full details of the effect of the
Orders and of grant aid available for the conversion of heating appliances. In
addition, approximately 11,000 visits were made by officers of the Department in
areas being surveyed with a view to the making of new Smoke Control Orders. These
visits were either to make personal contact with occupiers or to leave reply-paid
questionnaires, asking for information about existing heating methods. At these
visits, occupiers were given a leaflet which explained that a Smoke Control Order
affecting their methods of heating would be made by the Council in the near future.
