Clean Air Act, 1956
The Havering (No.5) Smoke Control Order — comprising
mainly the G.L.C.'s Harold Hill Estate — was duly confirmed by
the Ministry of Housing and Local Government and became
operative on 1st November, 1969.
Apart from 200 dwellings where the G.L.C. themselves
proposed to instal integral gas ignition to comply with the Order
the remainder of their tenants were given freedom of choice —
with certain limitations — to go ahead with conversions to more
modern appliances at the tenant's own expense.
At the end of the year 729 applications for proposed works
of adaptation had been dealt with and in 620 instances the
necessary works had been carried out to the satisfaction of the
London Borough of Havering and the claims paid.
