Pulford Street Site (Tachbrook Estate).—Building operations in connection
with this Scheme, details of which were given in last year's
report, were started early in the year. By December, two blocks of
15 flats each had been completed and two others containing 40 and
15 flats respectively were well advanced. The two completed blocks
were occupied early in the New Year, by tenants of the Trust's houses
in Pulford Street, which were to be demolished.
Flats in Causton Street.—A second block containing 16 self-contained
flats of two and three rooms was erected during the year by the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners, on a site at the corner of Regency Street. The
flats are similar to those described in last year's report and form a small
new estate of 32 dwellings.
Overcrowding.—During the year 12 new cases of illegal overcrowding
were discovered, and 22 cases which were overcrowded in the social sense.
By means of the housing schemes of the City Council and of the London
County Council and other bodies some 112 cases of overcrowding were
relieved. This figure includes cases recorded in preceding years.
