Four areas were confirmed for clearance during the year. These comprise a total of 222 houses which were
occupied by 291 families.
Two areas which were represented during 1969 still await confirmation. These comprise a total of 340 houses
which are occupied by 394 families.
Eight areas were represented for clearance during 1970. These covered 190 houses and 298 families.
Public Local Inquiries were held in respect of three areas for clearance under Part III Compulsory Purchase Orders.
Contrary to the expectation that the increased compensation in respect of unfit houses under the Housing Act,
1969, would tend to reduce the number of objections, many objections were made to the classification of houses
in the clearance areas. These objections were accompanied by claims for good maintenance and much time of the
Minister's Inspectors were taken up in dealing with these claims.
The figures above relate to houses within clearance areas. Numbers set out in the tables below show houses and
families in clearance areas and also the total numbers of houses and families in the related Compulsory Purchase
