The total number of families removed from Hampstead to County
Council houses since 1927, through action by the Borough Council, is
298 involving 1,583 persons. The additional 62 families are accounted
for by changes in tenancies at the subsidy houses (22 at Watling and
40 at Wormholt), the Borough Council having the right to nominate
tenants for any of the 100 subsidised houses which become vacant.
(Note.—The above figures do not take into account the number of
Hampstead families removed by the L-C.C. who were not overcrowded,
but who made direct application to the E.C.C. The number so removed is not available.)
The Borough Council has entered into an agreement with the
County Council for the purpose of providing accommodation (when
required by the Borough Council) on the County Council's Estates for
persons who might be displaced as a result of the Borough Council's
operations under the Housing Acts, in connection with clearance or
redevelopment areas, or individual unfit houses or parts of houses, and
pays in respect of each dwelling provided the sum of £4 10s. per
annum for a period of 40 years. Accommodation has been provided
in three cases in 1938 under this agreement which is in addition to the
arrangement with the County Council whereby 100 houses at Wormholt Estate adjoining the White City, or the Watling Estate at Hendon,
have been allocated to the Borough Council, and in respect of which
the Borough Council pays a yearly subsidy of £7 per house.
