Futhermore, clearance area work was rather prominent during this year, and the
following areas were surveyed:—Cobourg Street, Whitfield Place, Stucley Place and
Stibbington Street. With the exception of the Cobourg Street area, the Ministry confirmed
the orders.
In the case of the Cobourg Street area, after the work on this area had been
completed, the London County Council decided to take action themselves and it is still
awaiting action on their part.
In the work under Section 9, the notices have generally been carried out satisfactorily.
An attempt was made during the year to better the living conditions of the existing
stable dwellings in the borough. Most mews were inspected and through ventilation is
being secured mostly on a voluntary basis and many meetings between owners have taken
place with the view of helping them to improve this class of dwelling.
