During the year the Council rephased their Smoke Control Area programme.
As will be seen from the accompanying map, the district will be made smoke
free from South to North so that the greatest benefit will be obtained from
the prevailing wind.
A comprehensive survey was made of all homes, approximately 2,000, in
the No. 2. area which will come into operation in late 1962.
