be available to the Public Health Committee when, if no undertaking is
given by the owner, consideration is being given to the making of a
Closing Order or Demolition Order.
The Housing Committee agreed to the suggestion of the Public
Health Committee to make available to them up to six vacant dwellings
in which occupants of sub-standard dwellings might be temporarily
accommodated to enable the Council to acquire, repair and/or improve,
the sub-standard dwellings for re-letting to the former occupants.
Of the houses which were the subject of Clearance Orders made
before 1939, the only ones still occupied are the five numbers 1—5
Brewery Cottages.

In addition, eight of the houses of 44 to 60 Greenford Road which
though suitable for clearance were not represented because of the
Council's decision to purchase (completed 1958) are still occupied.
There are still fifteen houses in which there are living fifteen families
which are the subject of Demolition or Closing Orders. These are:—
1955 : 13 Shelley Road, 12 Wordsworth Road.
1957 : 1, 3, 9 Crown Street, 23 Shelley Road.
1959 : 32 West End Lane, 14 Camden Row, Cuckoo Hill, 1, 2, 4
and 6 Kirkby Cottages, Golf Cottage, Pinner Hill.
1960 : 21 Nelson Road, 2 Mead Road.
The corresponding position at the end of 1959 was that there were twenty
of these houses in which twenty-three families were living.
There are also thirty-two houses still standing but not occupied
which are the subject of Demolition or Closing Orders. Proposals about
the reconditioning of two have been accepted.
New Demolition or Closing Orders. During the year, Demolition
or Closing Orders were made in respect of 2 Mead Road and 21 Nelson
Road.
Demolition. The following properties were demolished during the
8 Marlborough Hill—the subject of a recent order.
49/51 Pinner Road—the subject of a recent order.

Clearance Area proposals.
