    Clifton All houses within a reasonable distance of the sewer are now connected* The scheme was affected by flooding in October and 3ome alterations to inspection chambers and flood banks had to be carried out* Thorpe These works are now working to capacity and before additional loads can be taken, extensions will have to be carried out.

Public Conveniences The Public Conveniences in the parish of Hartington are open for use throughout the year* There has been a marked reduction in the number of complaints received each weekend since these toilets were completed. No further progress has been made at Thorpe where similar provisions are contemplated. PUBLIC HEALTH (DRAINAGE OF TRADE PREMISES) ACT, 1937 AND PUBLIC HEALTH ACT, 195l. Following negotiations with the various farmers who had originally preserved their right to discharge the farm liquor into the Council's sewers, the three farmers at Brailsford continue to discharge the drainage into the Council's sewers. The farm at Parwich is now disconnected* The drainage from the Brailsford farms is having a serious effect on the sewage works and a consistantly bad effluent is being discharged during the winter months. As previously stated these works are to be extended. Flooding I regret to report that some houses in Green Lane and Mayfield Road, Clifton were again affected by flooding. The Council provided sandbags and workmen assisted residents in the area to remove furniture and carpets. Later The Council provided the affected householders with bags of coal to provide heat to dry out the houses. 1.5c
