SANITARY ADMINISTRATION.
ANNUAL REPORT
of
THE CHIEF SANITARY INSPECTOR
1953
Public Health Department,
Municipal Offices,
New Malden.
July, 1954.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Maiden and Coombe,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present my first annual report on the
work carried out by your sanitary inspectors during the year.
The year under review has been one of continued effort,
although nothing of a spectacular nature has occurred.
The general standard of housing in the Borough is good and
property owners generally have co-operated well in carrying out
works of repair. It is pleasing to report that in no case has it
been necessary to resort to Court action to enforce notices under
the Public Health or Housing Acts.
For the purpose of abating nuisances or executing repairs
to houses the following notices were served:—
Preliminary 135
Abatement 19
Informal (dustbin only) 16
Formal (dustbin only) 2
These figures do not include verbal notices often given in
regard to minor matters.
During the year it was not found necessary to apply to
the Court for Nuisance Orders.
