![Progress has been made with the Clean Food Campaign and a Food Trades Advisory Committee consisting of elected represent¬ atives of all the food trades in the Borough has been formed. A Code of Standards of Cleanliness in food handling and sale has since been adopted. The water supplies have been adequate in quantity and quality and regular samples have been taken by the Sanitary Inspector. During the year 42 traditional brick council houses have been built and occupied as compared with 22 in 1949. In addition 15 huts were converted and occupied in the Empingham Road estate. 14 cases of overcrowding were relieved by the Council this year. The provision of new houses at a suitable rent is still the major problem of the Borough. Details of other sanitary conditions, food inspection and housing will be found in the Sanitary Inspector’s report in the following pages. I should like to thank the Council for their interest and help in health matters and the staff of the Public Health Department for their ready co-operation. I am, ladies and gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. ANLEY HAWES. [5]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30134031_0007.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
