14% of the households living in the Borough are without the
exclusive use of both stove and sink.
The above facts are illuminating and clearly indicate that
the housing problem involves considerations not only of quantity
but also of quality of the accommodation provided. In other
words, even when the acute shortage of houses has been
remedied, there will still be large numbers of sub-standard
houses requiring up-to-date fittings and amenities.
