Area in this borough has been considered, namely, Wolseley
Buildings. The Committee also had under consideration a
number of Insanitary Areas in different parts of the borough,
which they felt could be dealt with by means of demolition
orders, namely:—
Bermondsey Wall and Rotherhithe Street 12 houses
Blackman's Court 2 houses Phoenix Place 1 house
Charlotte Place 4 Rose Court 3 houses
Davis Buildings 3 „ Stanworth Street 1 house
Fort Passage 3 „ Tidal Place 3 houses
Musk Court 3 „ Wright's Buildings 4 „
It is hoped that these will be dealt with during the next five
years Another considerable Area bounded by Long Lane,
Weston Street, Alice Street and Rephidim Street has been under
consideration, and the Committee took the view that this Area
should be dealt with by the London County Council, but, so far as
I am aware, no further action has been taken in the matter.
On September 1st, 1931, I gave evidence at a Public Enquiry
held at the Town Hall into the Council's application for confirmation
of a Compulsory Purchase Order in connection with the
Vauban Street Area.
With regard to vacant sites suitable for housing accommodation,
I believe that it is true to say that every available site in
the borough has been brought to the notice of the Housing
Committee.
