SUMMARY OF SAN1TARY 1MPROVEMENTS
Below is a tabulated statement of works carried out
at premises in the Borough during the past year. There
is no statutory requirement that notice of intention to
carry out works (apart from drains) shall be given to the
Corporation, and although most of the work is inspected
during progress it is by no means possible to do so in all
cases.
