Essex County Council Act, 1933, Section 109—Permission to keep
caravan on site.

the provision of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act,
1960.
Piggery (Eastern Sewage Works site)
Reference was made in the report of the Medical Officer for 1961 to
breaches of the covenant made with this Council. For years, the occupier
had allowed the premises to deteriorate and fall into disrepair, and
efforts by Public Health Inspectors to get the premises back into
reasonable condition having proved fruitless, the Public Health
Committee resolved to take action for the forfeiture of the lease. As a
result of the action taken by the Council, the tenant offered to surrender
his lease; the offer was accepted and the matter finalised.
