The local enquiry ordered by the Minister of Health was held
at the Town Hall in November, 1934. In nearly every instance
appeals were lodged by owners against the demolition of their
property. A large proportion of the houses were old and of faulty
construction and lacking in adequate provision for food storage and
washing facilities. At the close of the year the decision of the
Minister had not come to hand (since confirmed, March, 1935).
During the year consultations were held from time to time with
officials of the London County Council in connection with the
question of small insanitary areas, many of which were suitable for
demolition, but owing to the size were unsuitable for housing sites,
and with which the Borough Council propose to deal systematically
as clearance areas during the next few years.
The areas in question contain 413 houses with a population of
1,712. This plan is based upon the assumption that the L.C.C. will
deal with the larger areas.
The following Tables show in detail particulars relating to the
proposed areas.
