INSANITARY PROPERTY.
SLUM CLEARNCE PROGRAMME.
The Slum Clearance Programme of the Council, which was
submitted to the Ministry of Health comprised 7 houses and one shop
as a Clearance Area, and 17 individual houses.
In my last Report I stated that the seven houses and shop
had been demolished after an unsuccessful appeal by the owners to
the Ministry of Health, and the families rehoused in new Council
Houses, also, that of the 17 individual houses, 9 had been
demolished, and one closed, leaving 5 still to be demolished, and
two to be reconditioned.
During the past year these houses have been dealt with
as follows:-
Nos. 6 & 8, Tapster Street.
Demolition Orders complied with and the site cleared.
Little Larkins Farm Cottage.
Demolished in compliance with Demolition Order.
No. 5, St. Georges Cottages, Moxon Street.
Demolition Order complied with.
The Bungalow, Barnet Lane.
Since this cottage was condemned, it has become the property
of the Council, being situated on lands purchased for open space.
The tenant is however, still in occupation, as it has not
been possible up to the present, to offer him a house suitable
to his means.
Nos. 1 & 2, St, Georges Cottages, Moxon Street.
Dilapidation Notices served in respect of these cottages
have been complied with.
It will thus be seen that the Slum Clearance Programme has
been completed, with the exception of the demolition of the
"The Bungalow," Barnet Lane.
