bodies are already providing. Much care and close co-ordination will be needed to
avoid overlapping and waste of effort. For members of voluntary organisations and
for all those who give their time and service in assisting the work of this
Committee, the next few years should be a time of increasing activity and
opportunity".
HENDON OLD PEOPLE'S HOUSING SOCIETY
I am indebted to the Honorary Secretary, Mr. A.E. Harvey of 36 Grampian Gardens,
N.W.2. for the Annual Report for 1961 which describes the work of the Society at
Church Walk House. The Report includes the following comments -
"Flatlets
Visibly no progress has been made. There have been many difficulties in
connection with Town Planning permission, but we think that at last these difficulties
have been overcome. A scheme is now being developed for 12 single flats and
2 double flatlets, with warden's accommodation, the approximate cost will be £21,000.
We have in the region of £2,000 towards the scheme and it is hoped a mortgage will
be arranged with the Hendon Borough Council, and that the Council will give a grant
towards the scheme".
