Result of Service of Notices
(1) Legal Proceedings.
Proceedings were instituted in four cases against owners of
dwelling houses for failing to comply with Abatement Notices served
under Section 93 of the Public Health Act, 1936. The defendants
failed to appear before the Court. In all these cases, with the exception
of one, where the works had been subsequently carried out,
Nuisance Orders were made for the work to be done within 28 days.
Total costs of £9 9s. Od. each in two cases and £5 5s. Od. each
in the other two cases were granted against the owners.
(2) Nuisances abated, and Defects remedied.
Two thousand eight hundred and twenty-three defects were
remedied as the result of the service of verbal, written and Statutory
Notices. 1,150 were in connection with the drainage of buildings;
897 in and around dwelling houses; 745 in connection with food
premises; and 31 were of a miscellaneous nature.
