Housing, under Municipal Schemes:—During the past
year 60 houses of the non-parlour type have been erected in
concrete for the Corporation, by the Triangular Construction
Company of East Molesey.
These have been sold under the Small Dwellings Acquisition
Act for £500 each.
Instructions have been given for additional houses as
follows:—
Number 5:—On the Birkbeck Road site. These will be
of the Parlour Type and somewhat larger than those mentioned
above.
Number 24:—On the Durnsford Road site. These will be
similar to the 60 previously erected but will be built of brick
instead of concrete.
An additional site has been arranged for in Durnsford
Road, upon which it is hoped to build a further 60 or more
houses.
Progress of Day Nursery, etc.:—Plans, specifications and
bills of quantities have been prepared by the Borough Engineer
and Surveyor for the erection of a new Day Nursery in
Habert Road to accommodate twenty-five infants and twentyfive
toddlers.
The building will be of two stories except the large
rooms provided for the children, which will be covered with
concrete and asphalte flats.
Provision is also made for a Doctor's, Committee and
Isolation Rooms, W.C's., Bathrooms, Laundry, Kitchen and
Scullery on ground floor, with a spare bedroom which could
be used as an Isolation Ward or Emergency accommodation,
if required. Access is made from this floor to the asphalte
flats already mentioned, which could thus be used for playground
or open-air treatment, if required.
The building is now in course of erection and it is hoped
to have possession early in May.
