HOUSING
The long fight with the Essex County Council ended with the approval
that body to the Council proposals to erect some 1,500—1,700 houses on
site, South of the By-pass.
Unfortunately this delay in the building programme coincided with the
temporary cessation by the London County Council of the assistance provided
by them in rehousing the married sons and daughters of their Barking tenants.
