When the houses on the Grange Estate are ready for
occupation the family will be suitably housed, and "The Bungalow",
demolished.
Additional to the Slum Clearance Programme now practically
completed cases occur from time to time which need to be dealt with
as requiring demolition.
During the past year inspection of the district has
revealed the following properties as having become unfit for human
habitation.
Ferndale Yard, Totteridge.
Wooden building and Van occupied by Husband wife andl3
children found to be unfit for habitation.
Notice was served upon the owner who made no appeal, and a
Demolition Order has accordingly been issued. This had not expired
at the end of the year.
Fairlight Farm Cottage.
This Cottage was found to be unfit for habitation and
reported upon accordingly.
It was empty at the time of my inspection, but was being
renovated by the prospective occupier. He was informed that it
would be dealt with as being incapable of being made fit for habitation.
The renovation was not proceeded with and the house is
still vacant.
