the erection of 101 flats on this site and 6 houses for large
families on another site to meet the immediate needs of the
Borough in relieving the outstanding cases of overcrowding
and rehousing families displaced from clearance areas and
individual unfit houses, and families displaced from houses
on the Red Lion Hill site which wiil have to be demolished.
At the time of writing this report, 36 flats are in course
