SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE BOROUGH
E. S. HERBERT, M.A.P.H.I.
Chief Public Health Inspector.
1. HOUSING
(1) Unfit Houses.
The unfit housing programme for the period 1966-70 has been completed and work
has been concentrated on other individual unfit properties which came to the notice of
the Department from various sources.
The amendment of Section 4, Housing Act 1957 which allows internal bad arrangement
as an item of unfitness has enabled proper consideration to be given to poorly laid
out and "inconvenient" houses.
Several houses subject to Closing Orders have been rehabilitated during the year
and it is pleasing to note that full use has been made of Improvement Grants in this
connection.
Dwellings reported as unfit for human habitation not capable of repair at reasonable
expense were: —
