During the year, 54 lists of outworkers were received
from other Authorities in respect of addresses in Barking.
Eight lists were received from employers within the
district.
(e) Premises and Occupations which can be controlled
by Byelaws or Regulations.
(1) Houses Let in Lodgings.—Action under the Housing
Act, 1936 has revealed that accommodation over
many of the larger shop premises in the district is
becoming used for living purposes, and as the Council
is aware we are awaiting confirmation of new byelaws
for the control of such premises.
(2) Common Lodging Houses.—The common lodging
house in Heath Street still continued in use at the end
of the year, providing accommodation for 36 males.
The redevelopment of the Heath Street housing site
cannot be completed until this building is demolished.
The Committee are considering the provision of a
municipal hostel in order that the displaced persons
from this common lodging house can be rehoused,
together with a number of other persons living in
lodgings in the district under unsuitable circumstances.
