ANNUAL REPORT
OF
THE CHIEF PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR
1252
Public Health Department,
Municipal Offices,
New Maiden.
June, 1958.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of
the Borough of Maiden and Coombe.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present my annual report on the work of the
Public Health Inspectors during the year.
There were no changes of staff and steady progress was made in
the work of the department. As much time as possible was devoted to
the inspection of food premises with a view to securing improved
standards.
The Rent Act, 1957, came into operation during the year and
the principal duty of Local Authorities is in connection with the
issue of Certificates of Disrepair. To the majority of tenants the
procedure under this Act is confusing, but the help of the Citizens'
Advice Bureau to both tenants and landlords has done much to facilitate
the administration of the Act.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors,
Your obedient servant,
S. J. T. WOOD.
Chief Public Health Inspector.
