HOUSING.
During the year, two Demolition Orders were made but demolitions under
these Orders had not taken place by the end of the year, as the tenant of
one remains to be rehoused.
The occupiers were rehoused from one house which was the subject of a
Demolition Order made in a previous year and this resulted in the demolition
of five cottages.
There still remains one tenant to be rehoused from a house the subject
of a Demolition Order made prior to this year.
No cases of overcrowding, as defined by the Housing Act, have come to
our notice during the year.
