It is felt better as a general rule to seek co-operation with management rather than take an occasional prosecution to make an example. Instances of smoke from domestic chimneys in smoke control areas caused by burning bituminous coal were found. Again, this was due basically to a lack of understanding on the part of t...

Whilst industrial smoke nuisance can now be prevented the only practical way, at the moment, of securing an acceptable level of sulphur dioxide at ground level is to discharge the products of combustion as high into the air as possible. Local authorities can reject the plans of certain buildings if the height of the ch...

The assessment of chimney height is not an easy task because of the large number of variables and indeed imponderables involved. I have already said in an earlier Report that office blocks do not come under control and this continues to be a grave omission. Schools are also excluded as education authorities do not have...

Nearly all the remaining persons in the West Hendon Housing area were allocated tenancies and those who still awaited rehousing at the end of the period were in dwellings which were still the subject of negotiations for acquisition by the Council. In all, 172 families were rehoused from Housing areas. Pressure continue...

Houses in Multiple Occupation The Housing Act 1961 contains provisions enabling a local authority to require the person having control of a house in multiple occupation to provide adequate facilities and amenities to meet the requirements of the families and individuals accommodated. A direction may also be given impos...

It is not, however, realistic to assume that every multiple occupied property automatically provides bad housing conditions. Houses in multiple occupation in the Borough tend to be concentrated in areas of older Victorian type houses which no longer lend themselves to single family use and to localities situated within...

The survey showed a lack of proper amenities and facilities and of suitable fire precautions rather than a high degree of ever occupation, and by the end of the year steps were being taken to deal with these matters. It is seldom if ever, that consideration is given by an owner to the fire hazards which accompany multi...

The procedure for making and operating control orders is difficult and lengthy and the financial implications may well be a liability to the local authority.

A great advance could of course be made if national legislation was made available on the lines 53 already existing in the Birmingham Corporation Act and elsewhere so that control of properties was made possible before multi-occupation was introduced. The interest shown by certain Housing Associations in properties wit...

In The Burroughs, Hendon (six houses) and at Lodge Lane, North Finchley (four houses) the properties were contained within larger areas for which the Council had long term plans in respect of redevelopment and it was therefore agreed that these should be linked with Compulsory Purchased Orders. At the end of the year n...

Outside the areas which the Council have already designated as Housing Areas under the powers given in Part V of the Housing Act 1957, and which are programmed for comprehensive redevelopment during the next five years, there are no pockets of unfit houses.

The Act as amended by the Housing Acts of 1961 and 1964 also places a duty on the local authority to make grants towards the cost of improving older houses which still have a reasonable life and which at present lack standard amenities in the form of hot water supply, fixed bath or shower, wash hand basin, inside water...

This included only tenanted properties. Improvement Areas At the end of 1966 the Council had agreed, as a pilot scheme, to designate Prospect Road, Childs Hill, N.W.2., as an Improvement Area under Part II of the Housing Act 1964.

By the end of the year efforts to secure improvement on a voluntary basis showed encouraging success.
