extends to 29 acres and includes 403 dwellings; of these 144 are
new flats in Lordship Road and Gordon Lodge estates, owned by Stoke
Newington Borough Council. The estimated cost of the necessary
adaptations is £4,800.,
By the end of the year, 115 visits had been made in the preliminary
stages of foiming a third Smoke Control Area (coloured
blue on the attached map). This is expected to cover 65 acres
and 1,000 dwellings, including approximately 300 new flats in the
Portland Rise, Lakeside Court and St.John's Court estates, owned by
this Council. The provisional plan for this area was submitted to
the Minister of Housing and Local Government on 24th December 1958.
As will be seen from the accompanying maps these three areas
cover more than a quarter of the borough. They include a high
proportion of the post-war housing development in Stoke Newingtonj
and are so situated as to permit the extension of Smoke Control
Areas to the more thickly populated parts of the borough. It is
hoped that a steady programme of Smoke Control Orders will result
in the whole of the borough being covered within a period of 5 years.
