10, Station Road, N.3.
An appeal by the owners against the Council's decision to
make a Demolition Order was heard at the County Court, the
Judge deferring his findings for three months to enable the owners
and the Local Authority to discuss the possibility of the sale of
the house with a view to the necessary repairs being carried out
to render the house fit.
Arising thereon it was agreed that the Council themselves
should purchase the property and at the end of the year negotiations
were proceeding accordingly.
