PUBLIC CLEANSING
During the year under review, the Borough Surveyor was able to
continue refuse collection on a weekly basis. It is generally felt that some
economy has effected by the use of the new freighters, since the new
system of refuse collection was introduced in March, 1957.
The collection of trade refuse was also continued as required.
Cesspools and earth closets are dealt with by occupiers of the premises
concerned, which continued arrangement is satisfactory. None of these
premises are dwelling houses.
