78 Report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1934.
Cumbers Yard Area and Garden Cottages Area, Wandsworth.
These two areas, which are situated close together, were
declared in January, 1931. They have been developed by the
Council as a re-housing site and 52 flats and six shops have been
erected. These were completed and opened for occupation during
the year.
Dutch Yard Area, Wandsworth.—A Clearance Order, which
was confirmed by the Minister of Health, was made in respect of
this Area in 1931. The area contains 18 houses. These have
not been demolished as it has not been possible to allocate suitable
alternative accommodation to all the tenants in occupation.
Greyhound Square Area, Streatham (29 houses), Barrow
Road Area, Streatham (11 houses), Felsham Road Area,
Putney (59 houses), and Wandsworth Plain Area, Wandsworth
(91 houses).-—These four areas were declared Clearance
Areas in January, 1934, following Representations made by me in
the previous year. Compulsory Purchase Orders were made in
each case and these Orders have been confirmed by the Minister
of Health, a Public Enquiry being held in each case. Plans for
the development of the four areas by the Council are well in hand.
Union Street Area, Clapham.—This area contains 12 insanitary
houses and it was declared a Clearance Area in July, 1934.
A Compulsory Purchase Order has been made and this included
certain other houses. This Order was confirmed by the Minister
after Public Enquiry and the 12 insanitary houses in the area were
demolished before the end of the year.
