The " Westcroft " Estate.
This Scheme, details of which were given in my Annual Report
for 1933, and which was earlier described as the Cricklewood Housing
Scheme, has been pushed forward rapidly during the year. The
Council has also taken appropriate steps from time to time in relation
to various unfit premises in the Borough, so that when action is taken
under the Housing Acts in connection with these scheduled properties
there may be alternative accommodation available at this Housing
Estate.
In view of the fact that at the beginning of 1935 the Council
would commence to transfer residents to the new housing estate at
Cricklewood, the Public Health Committee brought to the notice of
the Housing Committee the possibility of infestation of the new flats
and houses by bugs. Arrangements were accordingly made whereby
a specialist firm undertakes the removal and disinfestation of the effects
of all families removing to the Westcroft Estate, and for other
necessary work to be carried out by the Council's disinfecting staff.
