HAIRDRESSERS' AND BARBERS' PREMISES.
Byelaws were made in 1937 for the purpose of securing the
cleanliness of any premises used for carrying on the business of a
hairdresser or barber and of the instruments, towels, and materials
used in such premises.
These byelaws have proved useful in maintaining a high standard
in the premises of the Borough.

ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION
CLEAN AIR ACT, 1956
The provisions of the above Act include those relating to the
prohibition of dark smoke from chimneys, measures for dealing
with grit and dust from furnaces, abatement of smoke nuisance
and the application of the Act to railway engines, vessels and Crown
premises.
On the 1st October 1959, the Smoke Control Order in respect
of Area No. 1 came into operation, the area concerned being the
Haddon Estate and part of the Great Cambridge Road. This
area included 515 dwelling houses and the response in converting
and adapting existing appliances was generally very good.
During the year the Council provisionally agreed to include
the whole of Enfield in Smoke Control Areas within a period of
fifteen years, and also agreed a programme for the next five years.
Progress was made in the action necessary to inaugurate in 1960
a second Smoke Control Area, which it is proposed will completely
surround Area No. 1, and is much larger, in that some 3,000 dwellings
are included. The boundaries suggested are—the Borough
boundary to the north, the Churchbury railway line to the east,
Forty Hill/Bulls Cross to the west and Carterhatch Lane and Myddelton
Avenue to the south.
