rented on lease. It is open for consultations twice a
week. The Centre at King Edward Institution was
only in use for two afternoons a week, and on
November 30th, owing to its inconvenient position
outside the Borough, its activities were transferred to
the St. Andrews Institute, St. Andrews Street,
certain rooms being rented from the St. Andrews
Parish Council on two afternoons of each week.
Acknowledgment must be made of the valuable
gift to the Borough Council made by the Voluntary
Committee in charge of the three transferred Centres.
It is not possible to give figures for the
attendances at each Centre throughout the year.
The Centre at 499 —505, Hackney Road, which
had been working for some years was closed at
Christmas 1920, owing to the premises being required
by the landlord.
This Centre was replaced by a Centre opened at
Thornton Hall, Mount Street, on two afternoons a
week. The furniture and equipment at the Hackney
Road Centre are stored for the time being.
