The Council's five year programme for dealing with unfit
houses in the district, reached its final stage during the year.
In 1955 the Council submitted proposals to the Minister for

which action had already been commenced.
All these houses have now been represented as unfit either in
Clearance Areas or as individually unfit houses, and in addition
a further 28 houses have been dealt with in a similar manner
during the period.
