The housing condition of the Borough is not of a very
satisfactory nature and it is to be regretted that a very
considerable amount of overcrowding still exists. In spite of
the large number of houses completed no improvement in
housing conditions has resulted in the congested areas. The
delay in proceeding with the Southern Housing Scheme is to
be regretted.
During the year, 3,322 Intimation Notices and 953
Statutory Notices were served.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. B. HOWELL,
Medical Officer of Health
