ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
HOUSING
Table A, which follows below, shows that over 700 houses were made
more habitable by formal and informal action on the part of the Public Health
Inspectors. This number is more than twice that dealt with in 1957, and reflects
great credit on the depleted staff. 58 houses were dealt with in Clearance
Areas; the Silver Street and Grove Street Clearance Areas comprising 108122
(even) and 142-174 (even) Silver Street, and 1-23 (odd) and 27-67 (odd)
Grove Street, being declared in September 1958. In due time, 184 people were
rehoused from these areas.
