(3) The area comprising the block of tenemental
buildings in Lisbon Street, unless Section 38 of the
Act of 1890 may be regarded as providing a more
satisfactory method of procedure.
(4) The area lying between Brady Street,
Reuben Street, Pereira Street, and Merceron Street,
except the site of the house immediately abutting
on the last-named street.
The Board understand that the County Council
have under consideration a proposal for acquiring a site
in this neighbourhood for educational purposes, and that
this area might be suitable for such a site, and the Board
would point out that if the area were included in a
scheme under Part II. of the Act of 1890, it would be
practicable to provide for its use, after clearance, as a
site for a school. The question of providing for the
housing of a number of persons who would be displaced
would of course arise for consideration, but some other
parts of the areas referred to might be available for this
purpose if circumstances shewed that rehousing in the
immediate neighbourhood is required.
As regards the houses abutting on Pereira Street and
Foster Street the Board are at present disposed to consider
that a satisfactory arrangement with the Brewery
Company who own the greater part of the property is
capable of being made without including the property
in a scheme, and other houses in the area could probably
be dealt with under Sections 17 and 18 of the Act of 1909.
The Board would be glad to be furnished as soon as
possible with the observations of the County Council on
the suggestions made above for dealing with this area.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servont,
(Signed] A. V. SYMONDS.
Assistant Secretary.
The Clerk of the London County Council.
