The initial steps in respect of the Clearance Area
procedure were taken with regard to certain of the dwellings
in Kirkham Street and Ravine Grove, and in addition the
Borough Engineer was asked by the Housing Committee to
consider and prepare a Master Plan and layout for the
redevelopment of the Clothworkers Area at Woolwich Common.
In accordance with the requirements of the Requisitioned
Houses and Housing (Amendment) Act, 1955 all requisitioned
properties were released by the 51st March, 1960.
At the 31st December, 1960 there were 9,471 tenancies
in properties owned or controlled by the Council, and at
that date there were 2,546 applicants on the Housing Register,
compared with 2,785 the previous year.
I am indebted to the Council's Chief Housing Officer
for this information on the Housing progress in the Borough.
