The refuse has continued to be barged from the district,,
but this practice will cease upon completion of the new disposal
works at Alperton.
No refuse is collected from earth closets, privies or
cesspools.
Tents, Vans and Sheds.
A considerable amount of time was taken up during the
year in dealing with gipsies, chiefly in the Kingsbury area.
These people draw in on any vacant land which suits their
purpose without the permission of the owner. No sanitary
accommodation is provided and residents in the neighbourhood
are requested by the gypsies to supply them with water.
The sites used by them are often littered with rubbish, with
the result that complaints are received from the local residents.
Prompt action is taken by your Public Health
Department in such cases, and with the assistance of the
landowner and the police the vans are removed from thedistrict.
Stables and Piggeries.
These premises receive their full quota of attention,
and in the case of piggeries the number has fallen considerably
during recent years. Wembley can hardly be
regarded now as a suitable place for piggeries. The district
has become so urbanised that it is difficult to carry
on this class of business without causing annoyance to neighbouring
householders.
Premises and Occupations Subject to Control by the
Local Authority.
Houses Let in Lodgings, and Common Lodging-houses.
There are no premises in the district which come within
either of these classifications.
