BACK PASSAGES.
The business premises throughout the Borough are generally
provided with a secondary means of access at rear of the premises.
These passages lend themselves as favourable collecting grounds
for offensive matter.
In a great many instances they are not paved or drained, and
as the tradesman often uses the open space for washing his van
and horse there, it becomes a serious nuisance.
Under the East Ham Improvement Act, 1903, special
provisions were obtained giving powers for the Council to call
upon the responsible person to properly pave and drain such
passageways, and, failing a compliance with the request, to do the
work and recover the cost.
