This area, of about 4 acres, comprises 137
houses and a population of 822. A house-to-house
inspection was carried out during the year. 36
houses were found to be unfit for human habitation,
93 were unfit but capable of being made fit if closed
for thorough repair, and the remaining required
minor repairs. This area is eminently suitable for
an improvement scheme since there is a fair quantity
of land available in the form of large gardens and
waste land. It was formally reported to the Borough
Council as being an unhealthy area suitable for a
reconstruction scheme, and is now under the consideration
of the Housing Committee.
