Conclusion.
As soon as the work in connection with the waiting list, which
is at present in hand on behalf of the Ministry of Health, has been
completed, a start will be made on the survey of the occupation of
properties under the Council's control, in order to ascertain the
degree of overcrowding and under-occupation in these dwellings.
An examination of the results of this survey, in conjunction with
the "live" waiting list, will enable the Committee to assess much
more accurately than hitherto the realistic housing needs of the
Borough on a long term basis."
Overcrowding.—The number of complaints received during
the year was 498. These were investigated by the Sanitary
Inspectors and 162 were found to be overcrowded according to
standards laid down by the Housing Act, 1936. One hundred and
two of these cases were given accommodation on the L.C.C.
Housing Estates.
