SMOKE CONTROL AREAS
Good progress was made in 1962 towards bringing the whole of
the Borough under Smoke Control. Further Smoke Control Areas were
declared, and at the end of 1962 there were 15 Areas in operation
and a further four in various stages towards completion. The
following Areas, details of which have been previously reported,
are now in operation:-
St. Mary's Middle Park (South West)
St. Mary's No. 2. Clothworker's Wood.
St. Mary's No. 3. Coldharbour
Abbey Wood New Eltham
Abbey Wood (Abbey Estate) Garrison North
Abbey Wood No. 2. • Glyndon
Abbey Wood No. 3. Horn Park.
Middle Park (North East)
The following four Areas were declared during the year:-
St. Mary's No. 4
This Area is an extension of the existing St. Mary's Areas.
It maintains the progress of smoke control in this part of the Borough
concurrently with the Council's redevelopment scheme. The Area
comprises eight acres and 191 properties. Virtually all the
properties will be newly erected Borough Council dwellings, therefore
no conversions will be necessary. Operative dates- 1st October, 1963.
Glyndon No. 2
This Area incorporates the second phase of the Council's
Redevelopment Scheme, together with adjacent London County Council
redevelopment on the north side of the North Kent Railway line. It
comprises 26 acres and will consist of approximately 180 newly erected
Borough Council dwellings, 200 newly erected London County Council
dwellings, and ten private dwellings. In the Borough Council and
County Council dwellings no conversions will be necessary. Operative
date:- 1st October, 1963.
