Improvement Grants.
My advice has been submitted to the Council in 102 instances during
the year.
Re-Housing—Medical Aspects.
My advice has been sought during the year on some 161 applications
respecting which medical recommendations for priority had been
submitted by hospitals or private practitioners.
Caravans.
This problem has not yet been solved so far as concerns the Lake
Avenue site. The number of other occasions on which we are troubled
is, however, relatively small and has up to now been amenable to a
reasonable degree of control. Where caravans have dwelt in our district
they have—always excepting the Lake Avenue site—done so only on
a temporary and probably short basis.
Land Charges Enquiries.
During the year 4,247 land charges enquiries were referred to the
Department regarding the question of outstanding sanitary notices and
or certificates or disrepair. Information is also given as to whether or
not a particular property is in a smoke control area.
This is one of the routine unpublicised but time-consuming occupations
of the Department.
Common Lodging Houses.
There are no registered common lodging houses in the district.
