SANITARY INSPECTION OF THE AREA
The Chief Sanitary Inspector reports as follows:—
Insanitary Dwellings—Housing Act, 1936
Previous Annual Reports have recorded the services rendered by
a Sub-Committee of the Public Health Committee in visiting substandard
dwellings, it is therefore possible to state that this same
sub-committee (Councillors Mrs. S. V. F. Ashton, R. A. Dalton and
S. J. Relph) continued to serve and twenty-four visits were made
by them.
It may be well to follow the lines of last year's Report and deal
with properties mentioned therein.
98 and 109 High Road, Woodford Bridge. These two old buildings,
constructed mainly of timber, were demolished in 1955.
1, 2, 3 and 4, Waller's Cottages, Woodford Bridge. Also demolished
in 1955.
1—10, Burlington Place. As mentioned in the Report of the
Medical Officer of Health for 1954, an enquiry was held at the
Municipal Offices at which objections to a Clearance Order by one
owner and two owner occupiers were heard. It can now be recorded
that the Minister supported the Council and its Officers and confirmed
the Order. Allowances were made for good maintenance under
Section 42 of the Housing Act, 1936, concerning houses Nod. 1 and 4.
99—125, 129—169, Chigwell Road. In the Report for 1954 it was
possible to give details up to the time of the public enquiry, consequently
it is pleasing to report that the Official Representation
by the Medical Officer of Health was accepted and confirmation of
the Clearance Order made by the Minister of Housing and Local
Government.
174, 176, 178, 180, 182, 184, Hermon Hill. These dwellings, the
subject of a Clearance Order were demolished during the latter part
of 1955.
9 & 10 Belgrave Terrace. These properties, on which Closing
Orders were made remained unrepaired although suggestions for
reconditioning were made.
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Inmans Row were represented to the Council by the
Medical Officer of Health as being property suitable for making a
Clearance Area.
