HOUSING:
I am indebted to the Housing Officer for the following
observations and statistics relevant to the housing situation in
the Borough during the year under review:—
"The Council has continued to give earnest attention
to the rehousing of families living under inadequate housing
conditions. During the course of the past twelve
months 190 families have been rehoused in Council Houses,
but even so the number of housing applicants requiring
alternative accommodation continues to increase, and the
number still awaiting rehousing shows an increase over
last year's figures.
A feature of the past year has been the number of
transfers arranged whereby families not fully occupying
houses have been moved to smaller property thus making the
larger type house available for the bigger families.
