The help of the Warren Spring Laboratory staff on the problems submitted
to them has been much appreciated.

premises in the area were received in respect of two appliances using town gas

Work has continued throughout the year on the establishment of further
Smoke Control Areas and details of this work are as follows
The Borough s No 4 Smoke Control Order made by the Council on the 25th
April 1963 and confirmed by the Minister of Housing and Local Government on
the 6th August 1963 came into operation on the 1st July 1964 Applications
for “approval to works” were few in the initial weeks but the position improved
in the autumn when occupiers of dwellings became conscious of the approaching
winter and their heating requirements. There was the usual significant proportion
of occupiers who delayed their applications to within a day or two of
the operative date of the Order and these together with applications made after
the operative date resulted in 71 Statutory Notices being served under Section
12(2) of the Clean Air Act 1956
