WELFARE CENTERS
Attendances of mothers and babies at the Welfare Centres have
shown a steady increase, and it has been necessary to arrange for
extra sessions.
Two additional Health Visitors were appointed during the year.
The Centre in Coldfall Avenue, Muswell Hill, was closed for
maternity and child welfare purposes on the 29th April and a new
Centre opened in more commodious premises situated in the old
Electricity Showrooms in Fortis Green, Muswell Hill.
In order to meet the demards for more accommodation, work was
started on a new Welfare Centre in Stroud Green Road to serve Stroud
Green and Finsbury Park. It is expected that this Centre will open
during 1947.
Plans are also in hand for a new Welfare Centre to serve Central
Hornsey end North Harringey to be situated in the region of High
Street, Hornsey .
