During 1957, 24 of the foregoing temporary bungalows were demolished, some
to make way for permanent dwellings, and some to make way for the new arterial
road, (the Cromwell Road Extension), eight having already been demolished in
1956.
It should be noted that the Borough Council's figures include a number of
dwellings on the Syon Estate, Isleworth, which is in the adjoining Borough of
Heston and Isleworth.
Conversion of Council Houses
In December, 1957, a plan was prepared for the conversion of 10 semidetached
houses and 16 end houses in larger blocks in Lionel Road, and six houses
in Whitestile Road, The scheme was for the conversion of these 32premises into
flats to double the amount of housing accommodation available on these sites.
The work was to commence in 1958.
