HOUSING APPLICATIONS:
46 families were rehoused during 1944, 24 in Borough Council
Flats and 22 by the L.C.C.
EUSACO STREUT AREA:
The proposed rehousing site was inspected and reported upon
with a view to gaining control of the whole area by clearance or other
means. A start was made towards the end of the year to the erection
of "Uni-seco" huts for the temporary housing of homeless families.
It is hoped that 75 such huts will be built on vacant sites in the
borough. This measure can be but a small contribution to a big
problem but the number of vacant suitable sites is not large in this
congested borough.
