LEAFLETS AND LITERATURE
As in past years there was a continuous distribution of leaflets
and literature through the various Council offices and libraries, the
subject matter being as topical as possible.
Other leaflets are included in the monthly distribution of
"Better Health" to general practitioners' surgeries and to factories.
In addition to seasonal subjects such as "Kill that Fly" campaigns in
the summer months, and other general public health information and
advice, there is a regular distribution of leaflets and, from time to
time, posters on "home accident prevention" and "smoking and health",
dealt with more fully below.
FOULING BY DOGS - WARNING NOTICES
Since 1959 when these notices were first introduced there has
been a constant demand for their use. The notices are fixed to
lamp-posts in areas where complaints have been received. When it
Is felt that the warning has been fully noted they are then transferred
to another site. It has frequently been reported that their display
in an area results In a material reduction of the nuisance.
CLEAN AIR
In conjunction with the establishment of Smoke Control Areas,
residents affected are kept fully informed on the progress in bringing
new Areas into operation. In addition, a large selection of leaflets
and a display of appliances is made available. A Public Meeting is
held in each area when a Smoke Control Order is confirmed and a mobile
display unit is sited in selected roads in the area.
Fuller details of the Council's Smoke Control programme can be
found on Page 46.
