No. 16 (11 ford, Clementswood and Moyfield) Smoke control Order
was made by the Council on 2nd December 1969. It is now awaiting confirmation
by the Minister of Housing and Local Government.
Details of the area No.16 are as follows.
Dwellings (erected before 1964)
Privately owned 11,210
(b) Local Authority owned 394
Industrial premises 71
Commercial premises 594
Other premises 75
This area, when operative, will complete the Council's domestic
smoke-control programme for the whole Borough.
It was estimated that the cost of replacing and adapting existing
fireplaces would be £256,000 and £2,500 for privately and Local Authority
owned dwellings respectively, of which the Exchequer contribution
would be £103,785 and the cost to the Local Authority would be £78,975.
The following is a complete picture of the number of claims dealt with
in the areas in operation. The figures for areas Nos. 11,12,13 and 14 are
not complete and a few claims are still being received for earlier areas.
