Hampshire Street Area.
Compulsory Purchase Orders have been made in respect of two areas in Hampshire
Street and Torriano Avenue, under Part III of the Housing Act, 1936. If the Orders are
confirmed by the Minister of Health, it is anticipated that approximately 108 Hats could be
erected on one of the sites.
The number of persons who would be displaced from the two areas is 315.
