Section V.
A map was prepared in accordance with the requirements of
the Ministry of Health shewing in different colours the sections of
the town requiring action under the Housing Acts. No areas exist
needing schemes or which are expected to need schemes under
parts 1 and 2 of the Act of 1890. Considerable areas, while not
needing schemes, contain defective houses which could be dealt
with by other measures. The following areas, although in fair
sanitary condition, fall definitely below a ultimate standard at
which it is reasonable to aim, or contain a large proportion of
houses which fall below such standard: —
1. Paddock Gardens.
2. Stoney Buildings.
3. Parchmore Road.
