ACTION UNDER THE HOUSING ACT, 1936.
Section 1.
In January Clearance Orders were confirmed in respect of
three groups of properties which were represented in 1937, namely,
High Street, Stanmore, No. 1 Order (3 houses); High Street,
Stanmore, No. 2 Order (4 houses); and Ferndale Terrace Order
(12 houses).

Up to the end of the year 15 Clearance Orders in respect of
118 premises had been confirmed. Of these the 59 premises
included in five Orders have been demolished, 27 families being
re-housed in Council houses and 22 finding accommodation elsewhere.
The premises included in two Orders have not been demolished
within the time limit specified owing to the difficulty in finding
accommodation for the tenants in a neighbourhood suitable to
their requirements. One of these Orders concerned two properties,
of which one is still inhabited; and the other, eight, of which three
are still occupied. Of the families previously occupying the other
houses included in these two Orders, four were re-housed in Council
houses and four found alternative accommodation.
Sections 11 and 12.
Notices to appear were served on the owners of 25 properties,
23 under Section 11 and 2 under Section 12.
Of those dealt with under Section 11 Demolition Orders were
made in respect of 14 and undertakings to re-condition accepted
in respect of 9.
Of those dealt with under Section 12 approval was given to
the premises being used as stores.
