Programme for Slum Clearance
Blechynden Street/Lancaster Road (West) Area. Negotiations
have taken place between the Council and the London County Council
in regard to the proposal to redevelop an area known as the
"Blecyhnden Street area", The allocation of responsibility between
the two authorities has been agreed as follows:-
To be developed by the London County Council:
Blechynden Street area north-west of railway -
Gross area 8.30 acres
To be developed by the Council:
Blechynden Street area south-east of railway -
Gross area 16.23 acres
It will be appreciated that by no means all the properties
in this area sire suitable for action under "slum clearance", and the
extent to which action under Part III of the Housing Act, 1957, can be
taken will depend on the results of a survey of individual properties.
In connection with that part of the Blechynden Street area
allocated to the County Council, Compulsory Purchase Orders were made
during 1962 by that Council in respect of the following premises:-
1-3 (cons.) Bramley Mews
43-49 (odd) and 53-59 (odd) Bramley Road
33-67 (odd), 73-81 (odd) and 56-78 (even) Blechynden Street

36-44 (cons.) Mersey Street
33-41 (odd) Oldham Road.
35-43 (odd) Silchester Road
21-33 (odd) and 2-30 (even) Silchester Terrace
During 1963 the London County Council decided to make further
compulsory purchase orders under Parts III and IV of the Housing Act,
1957, in respect of the following properties in the Blechynden Street
area:-
2/3, 5, 9 and garage adjoining Nos.2/3 Blechynden Mews

Kensal New Town Area. This area, consisting of over 20
acres, is scheduled for clearance.
The first portion of 6½ acres has been dealt with by the
Borough Council, and the redevelopment of the site by the erection
of new flats and maisonnettes is well in progress.
