UNHEALTHY AREAS.
(1) Brady Street Area.
During the year, the London (Brady Street)
Improvement Scheme, 1920, was approved by the
Minister of Health, with certain modifications.
(2) Diss Street Area.
No further progress was made with the Reconstruction
Scheme submitted to the Ministry of Health
by the Council, the Ministry reserving their decision in
the matter.
(3) Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, Baker's Court.
Demolition Orders in respect of these four houses
became operative on May Ist, 1921, and the houses were
demolished.
TENEMENT HOUSES.
The number of houses registered as being let in
lodgings or occupied by members of more than one
family was 219. 712 visits of inspection were made to
these houses, and arising out of such visits, 242 Intimation
Notices were served. The present by-laws do not
apply when the landlord himself resides on the
premises, or where the rent of the tenement is above a
certain figure. This explains the limited number of
tenement houses which are now on the register and subject
to the by-laws. Revised by-laws are now in process
of drafting by the London County Council, and will be
applicable to a large number of tenements which are at
present excluded from the operation of the by-laws.
