Re Area No. 72 (Crew, Gaverick and Claude Streets).
The Borough Council (after consultation with the London County
Council) accepted the proposals of the freeholders for dealing with this
area. Approximately half of the properties (51 houses) have reverted to
the freeholders. The leases of the remaining properties (49 houses) expire
in a year or so, and regarding these the freeholders have served schedules
of dilapidations.
The scheme of improvement includes:—
(a) Construction of new sculleries and water closets adjoining houses
where these are now at the end of the gardens.
(b) Laying concrete 6in. thick over the sites beneath the ground floors
of the buildings.
(c) Construction of slate damp-proof courses in all walls where no
such courses now exist.
These works to be carried out within twelve months. Within a
further twelve months internal repairs and decorations required to render
them in fair tenantable order will be completed.
