Slum Clearance
Only one small Clearance Area comprising 2 houses, namely,
84 and 86, Swan Lane, N.20, was dealt with during the year and the
Council compulsorily acquired the site for the building of Council
Flats. The owner appealed against the acquisition of the site but the
appeal was later withdrawn.
The Slum Clearance programme was delayed because of the
difficulty in providing alternative accommodation for the tenants.
Therefore, some of the Areas scheduled to be dealt with during the
year have had to be delayed.
No individual unfit houses were dealt with during the year.
