Housing. 89
Demolition Orders.
The demolition orders made in 1935 on 146 and 146a, Lyham
Road and 558 Garratt Lane, have been put into force and the three
houses have been demolished.
In December I represented 59 Rotherwood Road as a house
requiring demolition.
Closing Orders.
The Closing Orders on a basement room at each of the six
houses, 66, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, The Chase, made in 1935, have been
complied with.
In 1935 I made representations for Closing Orders in respect of
a basement flat at 51, High Street, Clapham, two basement rooms
at 40, Haselrigge Road and two basement flats at 14, King's Avenue.
The Council made Closing Orders on these premises in February last
and the Orders have been complied with.
In 1935 the Council accepted an undertaking from the owners,
as provided for in Section 19(2) of the Housing Act, 1930, that the
three dwelling-houses, 1, 2, and 3, King's Arms Yard, wouldnotbe
used for human habitation. This undertaking has now been
honoured, as the houses have been vacated and rendered unsuitable
for use as dwelling-houses.
In June, 1936, I represented to the Council that a Closing Order
should be made on a basement room at 364, York Road, Wandsworth.
The Order was made and has been complied with.
