(17) Albert Road and Woodman's Cottages.—This area, consisting of 6 houses,
was represented by me to the Council as an unhealthy area on the 12th September,
1935, and the Council made a Clearance Order on the 29th October of that year.
A Ministry of Health Inquiry was held on the 14th January, 1936, and the Clearance
Order was confirmed by the Minister without modification on the 9th April, 1936.
The Minister directed in respect of one house, No. 4, Woodman's Cottages, that
payment of compensation for a well maintained house was to be made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 64 of the Housing Act, 1935. At the end of the year
two houses were still occupied. No houses had been demolished.
(18) Dock Street and Kent Cottages.—This area, consisting of 9 houses, was
represented by me to the Council as an unhealthy area on the 12th September, 1935,
and the Council made a Clearance Order on the 29th October of that year. A Ministry
of Health Inquiry was held on the 14th January, 1936, and the Clearance Order was
confirmed by the Minister on the 9th April, 1936. No. 2 Dock Street was excluded
presumably, because it was no longer used as a dwelling house and was occupied
as a store for business purposes. At the end of the year all the houses had been
vacated, and two had been demolished.

of Health Inquiry was held on the 14th January, 1936, and the Clearance Order was
confirmed by the Minister without modification on the 9th April, 1936. At the end
of the year twelve houses were still occupied.
(20) Anne's Place.—This area, consisting of 4 houses, was represented by me
to the Council as an unhealthy area on the 12th September, 1935, and the Council
made a Clearance Order on the 29th October of that year. The Order being unopposed,
there was no local Inquiry, and after inspection, the Minister confirmed
the order without modification on the 9th April, 1936. At the end of the year all the
houses were still occupied.
(21) Lewis Place.—This area, consisting of 3 houses, was represented by me

the houses had been demolished.
(22) Messiter Place.—This area, consisting of 6 houses was represented by me
to the Council as an unhealthy area on the 7th November, 1935, and the Council
made a Clearance Order on the 21st January, 1936. As the order was unopposed,
no local Inquiry was held, and, after inspection, the Minister confirmed the Order
without modification on the 2nd May, 1936. At the end of the year all the houses
had been demolished.
