Council Housing Schemes.
Springjield Estate.—This estate of some 10½ acres is the second
largest site developed by the Greenwich Borough Council since the
war and is to provide 230 flats in 9 blocks for approximately 1,095
persons. Each flat has been planned to have the advantages of a
two-sided aspect and all blocks are to be fitted with electrical
passenger lifts in addition to main and subsidiary staircases.
Toward the end of the year Ducie House, the first block of this
estate, comprising 1 two-bedroomed and 20 three-bedroomed flats,
was completed and occupied.
Tuskar Street.—This site was also completed and occupied at
the latter end of 1950. The accommodation, made available in
two blocks, Bolton House and Miles House, comprises 21 onebedroomed,
3 two-bedroomed and 12 three-bedroomed flats.
The Council are pressing on in a determined effort to provide
the maximum amount of housing in the shortest possible time and
steady progress can be reported. The following table gives an
indication of the dwellings in the course of construction in the
