with these. In one other case, Hemingford Road, an area already represented by the Greater London
Council, was enlarged by the addition of an area in the 1971 — 1975 programme, and a fresh representation
was made of the whole area. There was one further area, Coombes Street, from the 1971 — 1975,
programme which was represented in order to permit early redevelopment.
PROPOSED SLUM CLEARANCE PROGRAMME 1971 - 1975
As the 1966-1970 Programme neared completion, the proposed programme for the period 1971-1975
was prepared.
This provisional programme which was based on the information obtained in the Borough Survey carried
out in 1969, was submitted to the Town Planning and Development Committee, in July 1970.
The programme is comprised of 812 dwellings and at the end of the year the statutory consultation
required with the Greater London Council was still continuing as to the division of responsibilities for the
representation concerned.
The properties will be dealt with over the years 1971-1974 inclusive, leaving 1975 as a year for
amendment and completion. The provisional programming will be based on known priorities and those
which arise later. Each area will receive a detailed inspection and will be the subject of individual reports of
the Committee at the representation stage.
As in previous years, it is anticipated that some properties will be acquired by agreement when the
Council is interested in the site for housing development purposes and where the number of unfit houses is
small in relation to the number of houses in the development area. Property not dealt with by purchase by
agreement will be subject to Compulsory Purchase Orders, or in the case of particularly small sites by
Clearance Order proceedings where the Council has no use for the land.
