REHOUSING OF FULHAM RESIDENTS ON
L.C.C. HOUSING ESTATES
During the year 694 families were visited by
the Sanitary Inspectors at the request of the London
County Council in connection with applications for
alternative accommodation.
Of this number 524 cases applied on the
grounds of overcrowding, and the remaining 170 on medical
grounds and the insanitary condition of their living
accommodation.
315 Families were found to be living in
overcrowded conditions, and reports were sent to the
Director of Housing and Valuer, London County Council,
recommending them for alternative accommodation on the
L.C.C. Housing Estates.
84 Families were known to have been rehoused
during the year.
