![Borough Surveyor's Departiiient Covercroft, Droitv/ich. August, 1967 To: Her V/orship the Mayor, Aldermen and Members of the Droitwich Tovm Council. Madam Majj^or, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have pleasure in presenting to you my 22nd Annual Report of the work of my departm.ent during the year I966, Matters which I ?/ould emphasise and which you will note v/ith interest, are the completion of the Canal scheme and the filling in of the Canal basin in Vines Park. The construction of the 'Pasveer* Ditch and its operation, from ¥/hich it seems likely tha,t in the foreseeable future, further private development can be recommenced in the Borough, Tovm Development is well under ?¥ay and 196? will see houses being occupied and factories in production. As mentioned in my last report, this vAll entail a steady and increasing expansion of all services operated by your Council, i'hese will require both care in progjramming and in ensuring tho.t all monies expended are spent wisely. A start has been made upon the clearance of larger blocks of unfit propert37- which consists of a number of obsolete terraces in the town, and it is hoped that with this cormnenced, the next fevf years will see them cleared and the sites redeveloped. The 8-ppointment of the Housing Manager and the introduction of a Housing Department is notable. I would take this opportunity of thanking the Town Clerk and my other colleagues, together with all the members of my staff for their ever ready and valuable assistance, vihich has been forthcoming during the year, and in particular I would again thanlc your Council for your continued support, advice and direction in the department's affairs. ]^sijts^ Inspections made by the Public Health Inspectors are listed below Accumulations found 2 Visits under Pet Animals Act Visits to Piggeries 4 3 Drains found choked Drains tested Drains found defective 4 4 3 9 Visits to ¥orks in Progress Dwelling Houses Visits re: Improvement Grants 98 86 83 40 358 Repairs and Public Health conditions Re-inspections re above Housing Act inspections re-inspections Visits to factories re Trade Effluents 12 -14-](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29169045_0031.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
