Report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1951
Clearance of Insanitary Houses
On 23rd January, 1951, the St. Alphonsus Road Area,
represented by me in the previous year, was declared a Clearance
Area in accordance with Section 25 of the Housing Act, 1836 as
amended by the Housing Act, 1949.
Closing Orders were made during the year on basement
premises at 19, Angles Road, 342, Streatham High Road, and 7,
Hyacinth Road. The customary notice was served on the owner
of the basement premises of 39, Victoria Drive, after I had made
official representation. The basement premises of 43, Mount
Ephraim Road, on which the Council made a Closing Order on
27th June, 1950, were found to have been re-occupied in contravention
of the order, and the Town Clerk was instructed to
institute proceedings, if necessary, against the owner.
Demolition Orders were made on 11 and 13, Willard Street.
The Council also approved an application to use for food
storage the converted premises of 3, Aldis Mews, on which a
Closing Order was made in 1935 when they were occupied for
human habitation.
