ebcdffa8-f90e-4fac-9d6e-0a8ea6b4cb2a | The Essex County Council has not provided any form of accommodation under Part III of the National Assistance Act, 1948. Page 57 The Council has found that elderly people are most anxious to obtain small units of modern construction sited near the shops, buss and railway stations. This enables them more easily to cope with daily problems and facilitates visits by relatives. The Council erected 24 units known as Mayflower House in the Town Centre. 3x2 Bedroom Flats 16 x 1 Bedroom Flats 5 x Bed-Sitters 24 This new accommodation proved an attraction. Over 100 applications were received from residents in other dwellings. The lettings were mostly to elderly people who gave up underoccupied dwellings. |

97a83075-42d3-4da0-a7a4-1b03dc716d71 | Housing Repairs and Rent Act, 1954 In February a report described as "Slum Clearance a Further Review" was submitted to the Council in respect of 2,199 properties situated in the Gascoigne Ward and Abbey Ward of the Borough. Page 59 It was proposed that the dwellings should be dealt with in twelve clearance areas and the operation to be carried out over the period from 1961 until 1972. The Council, by Minute No. 3112 dated 26th February, 1957, adopted the report. Information re Local Land Charges, etc. Information as to statutory orders made in respect of dwelling houses and as to notices not complied with requiring works of repair was supplied in respect of 490 properties upon request for official search of the Land Charges Register. In addition 233 particulars as to properties were supplied in all cases in which mortgages were being arranged under the Housing Act, 1949 in respect of the purchase of small dwellings. |
790f1e1f-f517-448e-8dfc-3260d1876910 | Improvement Grants—Housing Acts, 1949/1957 Enquiries as to improvement grants were received principally from owner-occupiers of dwelling houses. Grants for the improvement of housing accommodation were approved in respect of 13 applications, the cost of the work amounting in the aggregate to £3,478 2s. 9d. Improvement grants amounting to £1,906 3s. 9d. vere granted. Default Action In 28 instances it was necessary to report to the Council where owners of properties had not carried out the requirements of notices served within the time specified. The works were carried out by the owners, in each case later, before legal proceedings were instituted. Repairs were carried out by the Corporation 9 premises in accordance with the provisions of Sections 39 and 45 of the Public Health Act, 1936, and the cost charged to the owners of the properties. |
39ba7000-bd1b-47c0-a086-ec9b8c885e7f | Housing Subsidies Act, 1956 Following the passing of this Act, subsidies can only be claimed for dwellings provided by the local authority to accommodate families displaced by slum clearance. Corporation dwellings which have been certified as until also rank for subsidy. Page 60 Health Education For the public health officer this means getting among the people and giving them a broad background knowledge of the public health services. It means also teaching them the whys and wherefores of the rules and regulations local authorities must operate to keep health offenders from harming the public. The man-in-the-street is for ever being lectured in his home by television speakers. He is also being encouraged to seek better health by spending his money on all sorts of concoctions by the " commercials." It is relaxing and comforting after such mental bombardment to learn from the sober public health officer the simple rules for a good healthy life, including his duty to his neighbours. |
ddeb0e7c-38f5-4446-b198-316e99a5917f | Your officers have continued to offer their expert advice to groups, societies and schools whenever an opportunity to do so is given Most of the old pestilences have disappeared. We have entered a new epoch with immunization, insecticides and new sanitary measures. It is necessary for public opinion to be kept in step. We must arouse interest enthusiastic interest if possible—in what the Town Hall is doing in the health field. SUPERVISION OF FOOD SUPPLIES The changes in the methods of distribution, retailing and packaging of the nations food supplies are so many and frequent that any comment must refer to conditions today and tomorrow, so to speak. Our aim is to achieve the ideal of delivering a satisfactory product from producer to consumer without contact with the hands. It is our duty to consider carefully the use of new methods and materials with this target in mind and encourage retailers in their efforts. In the interests of the public we serve we can do no less. |
8f2b0f5b-ae72-46b5-9646-d870ca7a91c3 | With bulk purchasing, bulk packaging and rationalised distribution we are approaching the point of uniform standards in all phases of food supplies to meet the demands of public opinion upon whom " commercials" are such persistent salesmen. The catering service continues to call for close supervision and Page 61 will so remain until the equipment industry finds the answer to the menial tasks which need manual effort for their completion. As the following details show, we have maintained an overall control by inspection and sampling. FOOD PROSECUTIONS AND COMPLAINTS Complaints were received regarding the sale of food alleged to be unsound or not of the nature, substance or quality demanded by the purchaser. The complaints were investigated and action taken as set out in the table below:— Nature of Complaint Action Taken 1.

Fairy Queen Cakes Reported below Page 62 Page 63 Contravention of Section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act 1955. The Council issued a summons against a multiple Dairy Company with regard to the presence of five milk bottle caps and specks of lacquer in a half pint of milk. At the hearing before Stratford Justices the summons was dismissed. The Justices did not award any costs, the reason for the dismissal was on the judgment given in the case of Reginald Thomas Edwards v Llaethdy Meirion Limited, where the Court found that the milk had not been in contact with the metal containers which remained untouched, and therefore the nature and substance and quality of the milk had not been altered. Fairy Queen Cake The attention of the Council was called to a sample of Fairy Queens which tad been labelled " made with 100% pure butter." |
66718042-b05c-451d-b3ee-14e52d98cee4 | A careful study of the process was made at a conference held between the Council's 'icers, including the Public Analyst and the Cake and Biscuit Alliar Ltd., when it was felt that the circumstances were such that an reement to issue a new form of label would achieve the most satis tory result. Food Hygiene Regulations, 1955 It was necessary to complain of a cafe attached to a licensed public house. Upon consideration of the structural alterations which were necessary and the cost of providing further equipment the brewers decided to cease operations. Food Hygiene Regulations, 1955 Action was taken by the Council against the Manager of a butchers shop in the Borough for smoking whilst cutting up meat. \ line of £5 wasposed. Merchandise Marks Act (Imported Goods) No. 7 Order, 1934 Action was taken by the Council against a butchers shop in the Borough under this Act. The defendants were fined £2 for improperly marking imported meat. |
4b0fedfe-0ff7-4a37-a9b3-f2ffc3abe64c | fouling of Public Footway by Dogs The Council in February, 1957, received a number of complaints about the fouling of footways and were anxious to give it notice by the fixing of bye-law notices. It was later deferred because the difficulty in succeeding with prosecutions is so difficult in practice. Food Hygiene (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulation The Council were concerned at the delay in implementing the coming into operation of Regulation 7 of the Food Hygiene Regulations, 1956, and pressed the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to implement the regulation prohibiting the peeling of onions at the homes of outworkers. Barking is an area where onion peeling is carried out in 60 premises.

One of these establishments is a central factory for several butchers shops under the same control. Another factory produces sausages and other cooked meat foods for the wholesale trade and distributes over a wide area of London and the County of Essex. The remaining 30 premises are butchers shops where the sausages are made and sold in conjunction with their trade. Routine regular sampling for chemical analysis has been maintained and it is noteworthy to record that although there still remains an absence of official standard for meat content in sausages, on no occasion has there been a sample reported below 50% for Beef Sausages and 65% for Pork Sausages.

9e691d31-a93f-4ab6-bd0a-65c79179e6a8 | During the year 14 samples of ice cream have been submitted to the Methylene Blue examination. The results, in accordance with the Provisional gradings, are set out below. Two of these unsatisfactory examples were manufactured outside the Borough and appropriate action was taken in each case. Page 69 The product of one local manufacturer which did not satisfy the methylene blue test was investigated. The cause of the trouble was found to be a new modern type of cooler used in the process presenting difficulty in the sterilisation of the unit. Five samples of ice cream were obtained for chemical analysis and all have been reported satisfactory. Examination of the ice cream samples showed a fat content much in excess of the present standards for fat content. Six samples of lollies were analysed and found to be satisfactory, free from lead and other metals. |
2c7d422d-2eb5-4238-a363-4e895d91605d | It is encouraging to note that the producers have succeeded in eliminating the presence of lead or compounds of lead from the moulds necessary for the production of lollies in order to comply with the required standard.

Of these shops eleven are also fitted with modern refrigerated window stalls for displaying meat. Each of these butchers shops has a properly constructed glazed front thus preventing contamination of the meat deposited for sale to the public from dust and dirt from the streets and surroundings. There are no slaughterhouses in the Borough. |
9903eb67-2b8a-441f-ae77-3d9043492d64 | Meat supplies generally are obtained from Smithfield Market, and arc of high standard. Two meat retailers in the district have animals slaughtered at their own slaughterhouses outside the area. SWIMMING BATHS AND SWIMMING POOL I am indebted to the Borough Engineer who is supplied me with the following figures:— East Street Baths: Total bathers — 77,566. Park Swimming Pool: Total bathers — 99,117. Slipper Baths'. Total users — 39,713.

Two other important provisions came into force at that time. One, Section 3, provided that no new furnace may be installed which is not capable of being operated continuously without emitting smoke and that notice must be given to the Local Authority of intention to Install a new furnace. The other. Section 10, provided that when considering plans deposited in accordance with the building byelaws which show that it is proposed to construct a chimney, the Local Authority must satisfy themselves that the chimney will be high enough to prevent a nuisance or danger to health. |
9a4aab1a-435b-4a85-bb59-af4101f431a4 | This is an important provision which will contribute not only to the control of smoke nuisance but also to the control of ground level concentration of sulphur gases which are invisible. The main function of a chimney used to be to induce sufficient draught for the combustion of the fuel on the grate. Now, this can be provided more easily and cheaply by fans and the chimney is used for the dispersal of the products of combustion. As a general rule the higher the chimney the better the dispersal of the gases and it is therefore important to ensure that new chimneys are high enough for the purpose. In anticipation of the coming into force of the provisions relating to industrial smoke, your officers brought them to the notice of industrialists. Were necessary it was pointed out that improved methods of combustion or additional plant would be required to ensure compliance with the new legislation. As a result of these activities a number of firms have made changes in their fuel burning installations with the object of reducing smoke emission. |
284140ef-eb86-4aa4-827d-7c39abb23d19 | These changes have included converting a number of furnaces fuel oil burning and in other cases installing chain Indusiria1 Smoke Thirty-four thousand of coal are consumed annually in Barking by industrial user. One and a half million tons are consumed at the Electricity Generating Station and one and three-quarter million tons at the Gas Works. Page 75 Beckton Gas Works Your officers have been assured that every effort is made to reduce to a minimum the smoke emission from Beckton Gas Works having regard to the present standard of scientific knowledge. Nevertheless, undoubtedly a great deal of pollution of the town's atmosphere arises from this source. A programme of modernisation of some retorts and buildings has been carried out but there is still much to be done. Steam locomotives are in constant use on the light railway system in the Works and add a great deal to the general pollution. Coal fired steam cranes are also in use. |
085fa474-353a-4de8-88dc-37b77fb0922f | It is felt that if a determined effort were made to deal with the pollution problems that are capable of solution a con: ierable reduction could be achieved. In addition it is hoped that improved methods of charging and emptying retorts and quenching coke ill be evolved which will eventually enable the North Thames Gas Board to make a contribution to the cause of clean air. Electricity Generating Station Much of the four thousand tons of coal consumed daily at the Power Station is burnt as pulverized fuel and unless special precautions are taken a problem from dust emission is bound to arise. In "C" station, the latest section to come into c ration, electrostatic precipitators have been installed to deal with the dust in the flue gases. These precipitators achieve a high standard c efficiency. The two chimneys serving the station are 375 feet high so that the flue gases are dispersed into the upper atmosphere. |
d65b5279-1bcb-4010-8e05-daa9edb4259e | The boilers in "A" and "B" stations are equipped with cyclone dust arresters which are not so efficient as those in "C" station. The chimneys of "A" station are comparatively short so at dispersal of the flue gases and any effluent dust is not so great. It has been stated that as "C" station becomes. fully operative and other electricity generating plants are built e load will be reduced on the older plant at Barking, resulting a reduction of air pollution from this source. Factories Seventy-one furnaces are in operation in he Borough majority of which are operated comparatively smokelessly. Those Page 76 found by experience to be likely to give trouble from smoke emission are the furnaces used for special purposes. The most important of these special furnaces are those consuming wood waste of which there are nine. |
c16b86de-28d9-42e1-825e-9112b6bad61f | Unless great care is taken to charge the furnaces properly and to arrange furnace conditions to suit the varying types of wood, either black smoke or wood ash will be emmitted from the chimney mouth. Reclaiming metal from scrap cable is also a process which can give rise to black smoke. All too often it is carried on with no apparatus, the cable being placed in a heap and fired. There is provision for dealing with nuisances arising in this way in Section 16 of the Clean Air Act, 1956, which is not yet in operation. To succeed in any action under the Section it will be necessary to prove that a nuisance has been caused. This necessity may militate against the use of the power as frequently as one would like. It was necessary in respect of factory premises of the Co- operative Wholesale Society Ltd. to issue a statutory notice with regard to emission of smoke from an incinerator used for burning wood waste. |
e92611ed-9983-43fe-9233-b7fc27db650f | Subsequently substantial changes were made in the equipment provided and the methods of operation, including employ- lent of additional personnel. domestic Smoke Whilst the pollution of the atmosphere from the more obvious industrial chimneys is the subject of much public comment, an equal amount of pollution from domestic chimneys does not always arouse the same interest There has been a change since the days when the factory chimney belching black smoke was the symbol of industrial prosperity. Most industrialists now recognise that smokeless combustion means efficient combustion and are susceptible to an appeal to their pocket if not to their public spirit. Householders, however, are more conservative and require a great deal of persuasion before they will change their habits. Many have prejudices which are hard to break down and most feel that to use a which costs more per ton means that heating their homes will necessarily be more expensive. |
f82f8e7f-6e9b-4089-90f7-4f3c8206d8a9 | No doubt, a number of years hence, home heating by burning coal in a basket grate will be looked back upon as being as archaic as the log fire in the centre of the baronial hall with the smoke finding its way out through the roof. Page 77 L A significant number of householders are burning smokeless fuel on grates designed for the purpose, and there is evidence to show that once they become accustomed to the technique require householders become enthusiastic about its use and would not revert to the use of coal. They find that owing to improved efficiency the annual cost of heating is no greater than with coal and may indeed be less. |
eafc2372-833f-4144-87d0-37a48ed56331 | This consideration coupled with cleanliness in handling and the fact that it is not necessary to have a bi-annual visit from the Sweep makes the burning of smokeless fuel an attractive proposition Although the Local Authority has power to declare certain areas to be Smoke Control Areas, it is obviously better that the public generally should be persuaded of the wisdom of such a measure rather than that they should be forced to use smokeless fuel against their will. To this end your officers have continued to give lectures and take every opportunity to encourage the voluntary use of smokeless fuel. Industry generally has done a great deal to meet this problem by adopting new methods and changing plant, and should not be too much to expect householders to play their part by taking similar action. Thames View Estate—Smoke Control Area With 1,200 tenancies on the Estate there have been comparatively few difficulties concerning the use of unauthorised fuels. Sudden cold spells create a sharp increase in demand for fuel which present problems of distribution. |
d0778bef-718b-43df-a679-a04bbe578d17 | This is because the economical method of carrying on any trade is to have a constant level demand rather than peak periods. The answer to the problem would be be for each tenant to store sufficient fuel during warmer periods is to last then over cold spells. The limited fuel storage accommodation in the flat and some tenants own economic circumstances however, present difficulties. One feature which contributes to the problem is that tenants are usually reliant upon one merchant because of th r method of payment for fuel. Many of them pay weekly on a club system and in the event of their supplier not having suitable fuel available the have no ready money with which to pay for fuel from a merchant operating a trolley service. It is apparent that something will have to be done to improve Page 78 the distributive machinery and the fuel merchants are being invited to co-operate in this matter. Measurement of Atmospheric Pollution The Corporation continued to maintain four stations for the measurement of solid deposit and the sulphur gas content of the air. |

In accordance with a hire scheme complementary to the above mentioned, 135 properties were supplied with dustbins. In each of these the dustbin will be paid for by eight annual payments of five shillings each. The total number of properties in the instalment scheme for provision of dustbins is 590. Therefore, the total number of Page 85 privately owned premises in the Borough now supplied with standan type of dustbin has reached 5,316. Public Cleansing and Refuse Disposal The Borough Engineer and Surveyor has supplied me with the following information:— The quantity of refuse collected and disposed of throughout the year was 70,753 cubic yards, the average weight 5,044 cwts per cubic yard, and the total weight 18,976 tons. |

Pet Animals Act, 1951 During the year 16 inspections were made of the eight licensa premises in the Borough. All the premises are satisfactorily complying with the above Act which requires provision for fire prevention; proper sanitary conditions throughout the premises and suitable housing and feeding facilities for the pet animals kept for sale. Offensive Trades Throughout the year there have been 27 visits to the eights offensive trade premises in the Borough. Type of Trade Number Oil Boiler 5 Fat Melter 1 Soap Manufacturer 1 Gut Scraper 1 In March a complaint was received of nuisance and distress caused amongst workers in a factory in River Road arising from the emission of fumes from an adjoining factory. An investigation showed that the fumes arose from a Iinseed oil boiling process and were being discharged to the atmosphere untreated. As a result of representations to the Company concern a fume extraction and condensing plant was installed. No further complaints have been received. |

Chemical Supply Co. Ltd., Abbey Road, Barking A copy of the findings of an appeal under the Town and Country Planning Act is appended because of the public health aspect of the objection by the Council. Town and Country Planning Act, 1947: Section 16. Appeals by The Chemical Supply Company Limited, Abbey Road, Burking 1. I am directed by the Minister of Housing and Local Government to say that he has considered the report of his Inspector, Mr. |
f4f9f4c4-2fe7-4b49-875b-029e96b4b16c | F. J. K. Brindley, M.A., A.M.I.C.E., who held a local Inquiry into your client's appeals against:— (1) the refusal of Essex County Council to grant planning permission for the erection of industrial buildings at the chemical works in Abbey Road, Barking; and (2) the failure of the local planning authority to give not; of their decision on an application to increase by 20 feet the height of an existing chimney at the Hardwicke Street end of the works. Permission for the erection of the industrial buildings was refused on the ground that the proposal involved expansion and consolidation of an unsatisfactorily sited special industrial use Which would adversely affect the amenities of the surrounding area. 2. |
6207670d-8bb5-413e-af7e-76c07101aa45 | Your client's chemical works occupy sites on each side of Abbey Road he smaller site, on the west side of the road, is adjoined on the north and south by industrial development and on west by the River Roding ; the eastern and larger site bounded on he east and south by old terrace houses and on the north by two large gasholders, a North Thames Gas Board building and a few more houses. 3. On behalf of your clients, it was explained that they had Manufactured chemicals at the premises under appeal for 44 years they from time to time adapted and extended the existing buildings, some of which were over 50 years old, to accommodate new plant, but the point had now been reached when large scale rebuilding was necessary. The national impor- Page 87 tance of their work was stressed ; 11,500 tons of chemicals were produced annually, and direct and indirect exports amounted some £620,000. |
9dda584a-e0dc-4c85-bd79-c304a7c5235b | Competition was very keen and it was essentia for the company to be able to manufacture products of a quality which could only be obtained from use of the latest plant wort ing in well-designed buildings. The company had given consideration to moving to another site, but it was difficult to find a suitable location and there were many factors militatig against removal. A large quantity of water was used and must be free from chlorides which would cause corrosion and scaling in the formaldehyde plant; and the present site had the advantage of being served by two private wells of exceptional purity The labour force of between 200 and 250 was local and include skilled workers and scientific staff who were unlikely to be willing to leave Barking. The factory was in an area allocated for industry in the Development Plan and was close to the largest power station in England and to Beckton Gas Works, which was one of the main sources of raw materials. |
24667226-9a59-4915-83d6-ace5be8f45a0 | There were no fumes or vapours arising from the manufacturing processes a the works which could possibly have any chemical reaction on paint, woodwork, curtain materials or metals, and although there was some smell in the vicinity of the factor this was new strong and the most noticeable was terpineal, a pleasant clean odour. The most objectionable smell outside, derived from production of hexamine, had now been completely eliminate by a new system of manufacture recently introduced. Under it modernisation and rebuilding scheme now proposed, the nil existing chimneys at the works would be replaced by two. Automatic stokers were being installed to reduce coal consumption and the emission of smoke, and the raising of the chimney appeal was necessary in order to provide additional draught for one of these units. |
b919884e-0606-40d7-8e76-02a0a5239115 | The proposed new buildings were intended solely for providing better working conditions and improving efficiency and would reduce the risk of smell outside the works The unsightly collection of buildings fronting on to Abbey Road would be replaced by pleasing buildings and the sheds and wall facing Hardwicke Street would be replaced by a taller building which would conceal the works from the upper windows of the houses there. In the circumstances, it was submitted that very heavy cost of acquiring a new site, building a new fadtory and removing all the plant and equipment could not possible Page 88 be justified and that the firm should be allowed to continue to operate at their present premises without further hindrance. 4. For the local planning authority, it was stated that the chemical works was an industrial undertaking occupying a salient projecting into an extensive residential area. For many years your clients' factory had been a cause of continuing complaint by local residents. Smell always surrounded the works and particularly objectionable odours arose during the manufacture of certain chemicals. |
2270f46d-d065-448b-91ea-97e0218599a9 | The houses near the works were to be demolished and the area redeveloped : it would be fundamentally unsound to build an estate of modern expensive houses beside a factory which was a constant source of nuisance, and it would be ndesirable to reduce the amount of land available for huusing by creating a light industrial or open space zone between the new houses and the chemical works. Moreover, an area to the rth of the works had recently been purchased at considerable xpense as a public open space providing a fine setting for the new Town Hall and the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey, and the implement made by this redevelopment could be seriously marred by the continued presence of the chemical works. The Council were satisfied, therefore, that the only solution to the problem was to remove the works from their present position. The stage had now been reached when your clients must rebuild their factory and it was submitted that this was the proper tir to move to another site. |
e1ba2d88-66ec-4d6a-a9bb-aede7c9c8c6b | It was appreciated that the relocation of a factory was always difficult and costly, but on this case there were no insuperable difficulties and re-siting would have the advantages of avoiding piecemeal rebuilding during production and of making it possible to build a compact factory on a single undivided site. It was understood that land was available River Road, near the mouth of Barking Creek, Once the works had been vacated they could be given over to light industry now in the central area of Barking, which would from a useful buffer between the residential district to the east and the factories on the west side of Abbey Road. 5. Representations were made by a number of local residents, who complained about intolerable smells, damage to paintwork materials, sparks from the chimneys and noises late at night. 6. The Minister has carefully considered the facts of the case and the representations made. |
8de53eb9-bd31-4430-b658-4e2235171a4e | He agrees with the Council that Page 89 it is undesirable for a special industry, such as a chemical works to be sited close to houses, but in this case the present site of the chemical works is allocated for industry in the Development Plan and adjoins an industrial area extending alongside the Rive Roding and Barking Creek. It is dominated by two large gas holders which are within a few feet of the houses in Hardwicke Street and Linsdell Road. Your clients have been established fa many years on the site, which has the advantages of a supply of pure well water and other existing facilities and buildings. Some smell inevitably arises from the chemical works, but your client have hitherto co-operated with the public health authority to reduce this nuisance as far as possible and the modernisation of the works will effect further improvement. |
9cd801e5-df3a-496d-abfb-ada15c942ac8 | The Minister has come to the conclusion that he would not be justified in uphold ing a decision which would be likely to hamper your clients business so seriously as to force them to move their factor to another site. Some improvement on existing conditions will be effected by the new buildings and steam raising equipment proposed, and the Minister hopes that on the redevelopment of the adjoining areas the opportunity will be taken to provide a suitable buffer between the works and the new houses. 7. The Minister has accordingly decided to allow the appeals RAINFALL Rain fell during the year on 231 days and me red 18.80 inches compared with 20.31 inches for the previous year. Daily records show that 0.01 inches or more rain fell on days and 0.04 inches or more rain was recorded or. 97 days. Page 90 |

I should like to thank my colleagues and members the Council for the help they gave me during the year under review. I am, Mr. |
b82c14d4-cf78-49d2-bee2-df8000ebfd6d | Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Medical Officer of Health. Page 7 GENERAL PUBLIC HEALTH SHORTAGE OF HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION It is pleasing to report that during the year the Ministry of Health confirmed that the proposed developments in the Ilford and Barking Hospital Group were included in the Minister's programme of schemes to be centrally financed and it was proposed that if possible the planning of the scheme should be completed in 1959/60. It was further stated that although a particular sum had not beet allocated to the proposals because details were not yet sufficiently advanced for the cost to be assessed a figure of up to £400,000 would be considered if this was required. Arrangements are in hand for selected architects to prepares preliminary scheme. HEALTH EDUCATION In addition to the routine arrangements in being for health education, special campaigns were mounted for the following themes During February, March and April the B.B.C. Television service produced a series of 10 weekly half-hour programme entitled "Your Life in their Hands." |
8b8d6f09-b19d-4295-a552-b08561d2d66b | In order to stimulate interest in this series specially prepared hand-outs were prepared in the Department and issued from clinics, etc. Public comment collated by health visitors showed that the content of this series was provocative and denial strated once again that of all the media open to propaganda televison is the most potent. In November support was given to the National campaign entitled "Guard that Fire." Through the generous help of the Such John's Ambulance Brigade leaflets were delivered to 15,000 homes in the Borough, 100 posters were displayed in clinics, doctors surgeries, etc., colour films were shown at the two local cinemas and over 700 shops were circularised with publicity material. Specially prepared medallions were prepared in the department for issue to shops selling heating appliances in order that they could be attached to fires, etc. Many shopkeepers co-operated and every help was given by the local Electricity and Gas Showrooms. |
a524e506-87ba-4afc-be9f-08402d011b73 | Although a considerable number of man hours of staff was used in putting this campaign into operation it is probable that its impact on the town as a whole was considerably less than one small topical cameo enacted on the television screen. Page 8 It, however, behoves all those concerned with the prevention of disease to continue to create and maintain a pressure of interest in health education which in turn will induce the allocation of television time to health topics. Towards the end of the year when the poliomyelitis vaccination scheme was extended to include all young people up to the age of 26 years, special inaugural vaccination sessions were held at which young local celebrities were invited to attend. The press as always was most co-operative in advertising these efforts and as a next step special efforts were made to reach as many members of youth organisations as possible. NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948 Only once was it necessary to invoke Section 47 of this Act to secure the compulsory removal to hospital of a man of 84 years. |
5a357100-7a08-4b4a-8ad3-553d233db5ff | Once in hospital, however, he remained as a voluntary patient. WELFARE OF THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED With the approval of the National Trust the Borough Council leased to the Essex County Council the ground floor of Eastbury House for use as an Occupation Centre for physically handicapped people living in Barking, Ilford and Dagenham. Making the most of the generous proportions of the rooms in this graceful Tudor Manor House, the County Architect carried out alterations to meet the special requirements of physically handicapped people, e.g. provision of ramps, lavatory accommodation to take wheel chairs, etc. With the installation of the necessary furniture and equipment including that for a woodwork room, a first-class Centre was created, which also has the advantage of having spacious grounds and walled garden at its disposal. It was fortunate that a dedicated staff was appointed to run the Centre and from the day it was opened a happy and contented atmosphere has revailed. |
bf0b85e1-e532-4a28-8812-3e129a22ce78 | All the Barking people who attend the Centre are weh known to the Health Department and it is very heartening to hear the cumulative evidence of the benefits derived from the Centre by these handicapped people.
