To the Chairman and Members of the Urban District
Council of Penge.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to place before you the Annual Report
on the work of the Sanitary Inspectors for the year ended the
31st December, 1936.
Four hundred and seventy-seven written intimation
notices and 56 Statutory Notices were served under the
Public Health and Housing Acts. In addition, notices were
served for the periodical cleansing of the following:—Bakehouses
and Common Lodging Houses (semi-annual) ; and
Slaughter Houses (quarterly).
Four hundred and twenty-one Intimation Notices and
30 Statutory Notices were complied with. In default of the
Owners, the Council did the works required by 19 notices
served under section 41, etc., of the Public Health Act, 1875,
and one notice under section 17 of the Housing Act, 1930.
Difficulty was experienced in 14 cases regarding repairs,
and the necessary works were effected only after summonses
had been served or threatened.
