This FREE service cannot be stressed too much as it is provided to
combat the other alternative of tipping old mattresses, etc., into ditches or
onto forest land or roadside verges.
Trade refuse also is collected, a charge related to actual cost
being made only for refuse, the character of which is clearly not domestic.
Refuse is at present disposed of by controlled tipping in Chigwell
at a site leased to the Council. The refuse is covered with spoil, hardcore
or other innocuous filling, and during tipping, only a very small surface of
refuse remains uncovered. Measures are taken against flies, etc., as
necessary from time to time, but this rarely happens.
This tip will be filled during the next few years. Further and
more long term arrangements for refuse disposal are being made at great
cost to the ratepayers as other local controlled tip sites are not available
in the District, transportation of refuse in bulk to tips in outer Essex is
now envisaged and proposals for this are well advanced.
Salvage of paper continues to produce sales during the year.
New trailers have been purchased for attachment to the refuse vehicles so
that salvage can be better pre-separated before tipping.
Nearly 5,000 road gullies in County and District roads are emptied
(and re-sealed with clean water) by machine regularly during the year by
contract.
(c) Swimming Pool:
The Council's new covered swimming pool is well under way and is
due to be finished in the summer of 1967.
3. RIDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT, 1964
The riding establishments in the area have been inspected and
Mr. H.E. Bywater,M.R.C.V.S.,F.R.S.H. reports as follows:-
'I have the pleasure of submitting the annual report of
inspections made under the above Act, at varying times during
each quarter of the year ended 31st December, 1966.
Conditions, in general, were satisfactory and no contraventions
of the Act were observed, or reported to me, during the year under
review. The riding school at Chase Lane, after several changes in
ownership, appears to be conducted under rather better management
and on a sounder basis than formerly. The establishment at Limes
Farm, adjoining 135 Manor Road removed to premises outside the
Council's area, consequent upon redevelopment of the site, during
the latter part of the year.
