Since the last report the deposit of refuse in this neighbourhood
has ceased till the early part of the present month
when a further deposit of about a couple of barge loads was
reported.
Notice was at once sent to Mr. R. Goddard, College Farm,
Harrow Weald, on whose land the refuse was deposited, dated
May 4th, resquesting him to desist from depositing any
offensive sweepings or other refuse and to at once take steps
to cover up the sweepings and rubbish already deposited.
In company with the Sanitary Inspector and the Chairman
of the Public Health Committee, I again visited the deposit
yesterday and found that although there has been no fresh
deposit during the past three weeks, still the heap has not
been covered, and in its present state is likely to be a nuisance
especially during hot weather. Notice has been again served
on Mr. Goddard that unless the heap is satisfactorily covered
with 48 hours proceedings will be taken against him.
Inasmuch as the nuisance is of such a recurring nature,
and that these deposits are often made surreptitiously on the
banks of this canal which is on our extreme eastern border a
part of our district sparsely populated and with difficulty
watched and as now recently a large number of troops have
become encamped in the vicinity, I recommend that an
Assistant Sanitary Inspector should be appointed especially
to deal with this and other matters connected with the large
number of troops now stationed in the District.

Dear Sir,
In reply to yours of May 4th, there will be no other sweepings
shot at West Twyford, as we have made other arrangements.
Yours faithfully,
