Of the total of 17,235 dwelling-houses, 1,733 are owned by the Council and
7,520 have been erected in the area by the London County Council since the year
1929.
It is interesting to note that 2,018 houses have been purchased by occupiers
with assistance under the Small Dwellings Acquisition Act.
During the year 1935, no less than 292 temporary buildings were approved for
erection in the back gardens of dwelling-houses in the district.
The standard type of shed provided by the Corporation for their tenants has
been in great demand and is a structure of which I approve. I would, however,
reduce the height of the roof.
