The Borough is divided into two districts by an imaginary line
drawn down the centre of Finchley Road. There are two Sanitary
Inspectors and one Clerk specially detailed for housing work.
Unhealthy Areas.
No additional unhealthy areas were "represented" during 1923.
With regard to the areas previously reported upon:—
Town Ward Areas (including Cornick's Yard, Flask Walk
(2 sites), Golden Yard, Silver Street, Stamford Place.
Streatley Place).
The various sites comprising these Town Ward Areas again came
under consideration during the year.
In the case of Cornick's Cottages, the Housing Committee
authorised survey and examination to be made of the premises under
Sec. 36 (c), Housing Act, 1909. The 4 Cottages were subsequently
"represented" by the Medical Officer of Health as being in a state so
dangerous or injurious to health as to be unfit for human habitation,
and on 26th April the Council made a Closing Order on each of the
premises. The question of dealing with the site, generally, is under
consideration.
