HOUSING
Slum Clearance
The Council was asked by the Minister of Housing and Local
Government to formulate proposals, jointly with the London County
Council of their slum clearance programme for the next five years.
With the concurrence of the London County Council it was
reported that there are no comprehensive areas in the Borough
which could be represented as Slum Clearance Areas in the immediate
future. There are a number of individual cases, however,
which remain to be dealt with and it is proposed to reconsider these
as soon as practicable having regard to the Council's available pool
of housing accommodation for decanting purposes. These number
some 23 properties.
Underground Rooms
New Regulations were approved by the Minister of Housing
and Local Government and are now in force.
