The London County Council declared 76 premises in Aintree Street
and Welford Terrace to be a clearance area and made an Order for the
compulsory acquisition of 46 further premises in these streets.
Following a Public Inquiry, when objections were heard, the action of
the County Council has been confirmed by the Minister of Housing and
Local Government.
RENT RESTRICTIONS ACTS
During the year 10 applications for a Certificate of Disrepair
were received. In 9 cases the premises were found not to be in a
reasonable state of repair, and certificates were issued. In the
remaining case the state of the premises did not warrant the issue
of a certificate of disrepair.
3 Revocation Certificates were issued to owners during the same
period on satisfactory completion of the necessary repairs.

PUBLIC HEALTH (LONDON) ACT. 1936.

at the request of the London County Council and the Borough

with applications for alternative accommodation. Of this number 132
cases applied on the grounds of overcrowding and the remaining 299 on
medical grounds and the insanitary condition of their living accommodation.
81 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.
236 families were known to have been rehoused during the year.
There is close co-operation between the Housing and Public Health
