STATUTORY NOTICES
Nuisances found in dwelling houses, either as a result of
routine inspections, or following the investigations of complaints,
are dealt with by informally requesting the owners or agents to
apply a suitable remedy. If these requests are not acceded to after
an appropriate interval, Committee sanction is sought for the
service of Statutory Notices. Eighty such Statutory Notices were
served, and in seven instances Court Orders were obtained. By
the end of the year 70 of these Notices had been fully complied
with.
