During the Overcrowding Survey of 1935/1936 it was found that
480 families, though not definitely overcrowded, were using the
accommodation at their disposal to its fullest capacity. It will be
apparent, therefore, that any increases in such families will add to
the responsibility of the Borough Council in providing the necessary
suitable alternative accommodation.
Lordship Terrace Housing Scheme
In 1935 the Borough Council approved a scheme for the erection
of flats on the Lordship Terrace Site.
These flats are intended for the rehousing of families living in
overcrowded conditions in connection with the abatement of overcrowding
in the Borough.
The scheme has been designed to link up with the present Lordship
Road Scheme so as to effect a unified lay out.
The scheme consists of 96 Flats in the following proportions:—
1 Bedroom Flats 13
