Along the River Rom to the Liverpool
Street/Romford Railway line then
along the railway line in an eastward
direction to the west side of South
Street.
Proceeding along the west side of
South Street in a southerly direction
to a point where it joins the boundary
of the Hornchurch (No.6) Smoke
Control Area; then proceeding along
the boundary of the Hornchurch (No.6)
Smoke Control Area until it joins the
boundary of the Borough with the
London Borough of Barking.
Proceeding along the southern and
western boundaries of the Borough
to the point of commencement at the
south side of London Road.
At the end of the year it was estimated that half of the total
number of houses in the Borough were included in Smoke Control
Areas. Added to this estimate is the possibility that somewhere
in the region of at least one-third of the remaining houses
have approved appliances, thus our ultimate aim of making the
whole of the Borough "smoke free" begins to achieve reality .
