HOUSING CONDITIONS.
The standard of housing in Enfield varies within the District,
the Eastern Portion containing houses for the working classes, and
the Western for more wealthy residents.
There are very few houses in Enfield which are not built of
brick.
Fitness of Houses.
(a) No action was taken under Section 3 of the Housing Act,
1925.
(b) No special measures were taken or suggested for the
gradual carrying out of programmes of repair.
(c) I should estimate that about 20 houses in Enfield are not
supplied with water by the Water Company.
(d) There are about 20 houses in the District which are not
supplied with a water-closet.
All these have earth-closet accommodation.
Bye-laws relating to Houses, to Houses let
in Lodgings, and to Tents, Vans, Sheds, etc.
The existing bye-laws are adequate, but increase in the
Staff of the Department would be necessary if the bye-laws
with respect to houses let in lodgings were to be enforced.
