Rents.
The rental basis approved in principle by the Council for the
dwellings is as follows :—
1 Bedroom type 9s. Od. per week.
2 „ „ 11s. Od. „
3 „ „ 13s. Od. „
4 „ „ 15s. Od. „
At the same meeting the Council again gave careful consideration
to the preparation of a programme for slum clearance and improvement
as a result of which certain properties were scheduled. On
29th November, I reported to the Housing Committee the results of
a detailed examination of each house in the following areas:—Stamford
Place, Golden Yard and Holly Mount, Fairfax Place and Yard,
and King's College Mews West. At the end of the year this report
was under consideration by the Housing Committee with the object
of my representing under the Housing Act, 1930, certain houses in
these Areas, some of which it is suggested should be treated as
Clearance Areas under Section 1, certain others to be dealt with by
means of Closing Orders under Section 20, and other houses to be
demolished under Section 19. It is intended that the Orders will
become operative so as to coincide with the new dwellings which will
be available on the Cricklewood Housing Estate, in order that the
present occupants may be given the option of removing thereto.
