Dalling Road (No. 1) Area.—In April, 1938, I made
an official representation with regard to the area known as
the Dalling Road (No. 1) Area, comprising the premises
Nos. 52 to 60 even, inclusive.
The premises consist of a row of small shops with living
quarters at the rear and on two floors above. They are
old, worn out. badly lighted and ventilated, badly arranged,
rising dampness is generally present, and various other
insanitary conditions exist.
The number of persons occupying the site on the 4th
April was 12.
The Council declared it to be a Clearance Area, and an
official enquiry is to be held in 1939.
Dalling Road (No. 2) Area.—In September, 1938, I
made an official representation with regard to the area
known as the Dalling Road (No. 2) Area, comprising the
premises Nos. 202 to 208 even, inclusive.
The property involved comprises an area of 0.156 of an
acre. The houses are two-storey dwellings and are old
and worn out; the brickwork is defective; there is rising
dampness in each house; lighting and ventilation is in part
bad, and a large number of other insanitary conditions
exist.
The Council decided that the area should be declared
a Clearance Area, and that it was necessary to acquire
certain additional properties for the satisfactory development
or user of the cleared area. The additional property
(Nos. 1 and 3, Cardross Street) comprises two two-storey
dwellings, covering 0.11 of an acre. The total area dealt
with is 0.21 of an acre.
The number of persons of the working classes in occupation
of the buildings according to a recent count was 19.
6 of whom are in occupation of the houses on the additional
lands.
No enquiry was held.
