During the year, 770 new dwellings were completed in the Borough;
258 by the Borough Council, 489 by the County Council and 23 by private

A total of 8,428 new permanent dwellings have now been constructed
in the Borough since the war; 5,515 by the London County Council,
2,617 by the Borough Council, 69 by the Corporation of London and 227

of Clichy-la-Garenne, a suburb of Paris.
