HOME SAFETY
Every opportunity has been taken to encourage the use of the
principals of 'home safety' when visiting houses and in particular the
home safety aspects of gas, electricity and solid fuel have been emphasised
in connection with the introduction of smoke control areas.
NOISE ABATEMENT
No formal action was necessary under the provisions of the Noise
Abatement Act, 1960, but a number of complaints were dealt with informally.
The Act provides that a complaint of the existence of a nuisance
may be made by three or more persons each of whom is the occupier of land
or premises and in that capacity is aggrieved by the nuisance. The Act
does not apply to noise or vibration from aircraft and in proceedings it
is a defence to prove that the best practicable means have been adopted
for preventing the nuisance.
FACTORIES ACT. 1961
Prescribed particulars required by section 153 (l) in respect of
matters under Part I and Part VIII of the Act which are administered by
the District Council.
