It has been suggested that, after adding the families being displaced from houses dealt with by demolition, etc., under the Housing Act, 1930, from these 181 houses of the various sizes required there should be deducted the number of houses being built at Cow Lane and in Greenford Road.
Number of families overcrowded requiring houses | Add families in houses to be demolished, etc | Total houses required | Deduct houses in course of erection | Net number of houses required after distribution etc. | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Families of 3 persons | 48 | 28 | 20 | 16 | 36 |
