For the purposes of programming individual capital projects the Minister
invited authorities to send to him by the 1st October detailed returns (for each of
the next three financial years) of all projects for which plans (including the selection
or acquisition of sites) were sufficiently well advanced to anticipate a request
for loan sanction (or to finance out of revenue or special funds) in those years.
These returns showed the following projects for the financial years 1968/69,
1969/70 and 1970/71.
1968/69 Health Centre (Green Street or Old Road Development Area).
Day Nursery, incorporating Day Centre for Mentally Subnormal Infants.
(New Southgate Redevelopment Area or other suitable site in
Southgate or Enfield.)
Hostel for Mentally Subnormal Adults. (Site conveniently placed for
attendance at Adult Training Centre.)
(Note : Provision for this project deleted from estimates and is
now in the programme for 1969/70.)
1969/70 Health Centre. (On site south of Angel Road near junction of Angel
Road and Fore Street.)
Hostel for Mentally Subnormal Adults. (Site conveniently placed for
attendance at Adult Training Centre.)
Occupational Centre for Mentally 111. (Suitable site.)
1970/71 Health Centre, incorporating Social Centre Rooms for Mentally 111.
(Enfield Town Area.)
Day Nursery, incorporating Day Centre for Mentally Subnormal Infants.
(Suitable site in Southgate or Enfield.)
Day Centre for Elderly Mentally 111. (Suitable site.)
The Redevelopment and Town Planning Committee has been advised of the
land requirements for these and other projects in the Ten-Year Development Plan.
During 1967 considerable progress was made in connection with two current
projects — the Health Centre at Hertford Road, and the Hostel for Mentally Subnormal
Children at Baker Street.
Progress regarding the Hertford Road Health Centre has been reported elsewhere
in this report in the section concerning Health Centres. It is hoped construction
will be started in 1968.
In addition to this centre the initial steps to acquire a site in the Old Road
Development area to build a second health centre there have been taken, and the
possibility and advisability of its construction on this site is being considered. This
centre will replace Green Street Clinic and it is understood that loan sanction
during 1968/69 is likely to be approved.
