No. 4 Area: 12 and 14 Glyndon Road.
There are 100 dwelling houses in the above-mentioned four
areas. In addition, there are approximately 60 properties on
adjoining land which are not considered representable but which it
is necessary for the Council to acquire in order to obtain a cleared
site of convenient shape and dimensions for the satisfactory
redevelopment of these clearance areas. These added lands include,
in addition to dwellinghouses, a number of retail shops, a warehouse,
coal yard, Doctor's surgery and a public house.
The Council propose to redevelop this area at a density of
about 100 persons per acre. This development will constitute the
first stage of the Glyndon Area Scheme.
Confirmation of these Orders was awaited at the end of the year.
