Smoke Abatement
The whole of the Clean Air Act, 1956 is now in operation.
The Deputy Chairman of the Health Committee and myself
were appointed as delegates of the Council to attend the annual
conference of the National Society for Clean Air (late National
Smoke Abatement Society) held at Llandudno in October. A
series of papers was given on the various aspects of smoke abatement
and considerable discussion arose on these subjects. The conference
was very interesting and well worth attending.
Observations on smoke nuisance from premises in the Borough
amounted to seventy-three. Investigations were carried out in all
cases—new boiler plant being installed in some factories and
Improvements being effected in others.
Atmospheric pollution instruments were in operation at the
Sir George Monoux Grammar School and the Connaught Hospital
from January to November. The instrument at the Sir George
Monoux Grammar School was stolen in December and the Council
have authorised its replacement. The Council decided to change the
site of the instrument at the Connaught Hospital to Willow Walk
in December and to instal an additional instrument at the Woodford
County High School. This new instrument was operating from 1st
December.
