During the compilation of this report, the sad news of the death of His Worship
the Mayor, Alderman John Clarricoats, O.B.E., J.P, has been received. Especially
during his year of office, His Worship showed a keen interest in matters affecting
the health of the Borough and I would like, on behalf of the department, to record
our appreciation of his interest and encouragement.
Once again, the contribution of material for, and the compilation of, this report
have been dependent on the combined efforts of many people and I am indeed grateful
to my deputy and to the other members of the department for their invaluable help
in preparing this report and their loyal and diligent support during the year.
I would also like to voice my grateful appreciation of the support and encouragement
of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Members of the Health and Education Committees
and the willing co-operation of my colleagues in other departments.
