The defects found to exist were of the general type,
being dirty rooms, choked drains, defective roofs and gutters,
rainwater pipes, &c.
The full details of the work will be found in the report
of the Sanitary Inspector.
Smoke Abatement.
It was necessary to notify the Metropolitan Water
Board on one occasion during 1925, of the nuisance being
caused by the smoke from the chimneys of the Water
Works.
Premises and Occupations which can be controlled by
Bye-laws or Regulations.
There are four slaughter houses in the district, which
are under the constant supervision of the Sanitary Inspector.
Thirty-eight factories, workshops, and workplaces are in
this area.
These are visited about six times a year, the exact
number of inspections being 178.
There is only one offensive trade carried on in this
district, and that is a soap-making works. Only one complaint
was received concerning these works, this nuisance
being caused owing to alterations being made to part of
the boilers, and this lasted only a few hours.
Schools.
There is one secondary school for boys, and four public
elementary schools in the district:—the Council school for
boys and girls at Percy Road; the infants' school in Station
Road, Hampton; and the Church of England schools for
boys and girls, and infants, at Hampton Hill.
The Council schools are quite modern and have been
built in recent years by the Middlesex County Council; and
the erection of a new school at Hampton Hill is contemplated.
