Section 11 etc.
This section which enables the local authority to make a
demolition order in respect of an individual unfit house, has been
used during the year.
Included in the houses dealt with was a terrace of houses in
Markfield Road which again were subject to severe flooding.
One aspect of dealing with individual unfit houses now arises
out of the Slum Clearance (Compensation) Act. This Act provides
for well maintained payments to be made under Section 42 of the
principal Act.
In the case of clearance areas these applications are dealt
with by the Central Authority but the local authority deal with
them for individual unfit houses.
One such application was received during the year.
