During the year, the Grove Street Areas were the subject of
Clearance Orders made by the L.C.C. and awaiting the confirmation
of the Minister.
Subject to such confirmation, the lay-out assumes the erection of
three blocks, containing 120 dwellings and housing 600 persons.
Adjoining the area is a small parcel of land in Elm Terrace of which
the Borough Council is the Lessee. The London County Council
desire to acquire the Council's interest in this land so that it may be
included in the scheme.
During the year the Ministry of Health confirmed the Orders of
the L.C.C. in respect of the Evelyn Street (Nos. 1 and 2) Areas, which
totalled 0.7 acre, and being unsuitable for housing re-development was
the subject of Clearance Orders.
