decided to retain in the slum clearance proposals three of the clearance
areas and to include some of the houses previously scheduled in improvement
areas with the other individual unfit houses.
At the end of the year the position was as follows:—
(a) Proposed Clearance Areas :
No.l. Tildesley Low Cottages 8 houses.
No. 2. Mount Pleasant Cottages 4 houses.
No. 4. Havelock Road (l-6) 6 houses.
(b) Proposed Improvement Areas : None.
(c) Proposed Individual Unfit Houses :
Canalside Cottages 1 house.
Adelaide Cottages 6 houses.
Kingston Road 4 houses.
Jericho Cottages 1 house.
9-13, Woodbine Cottages 5 houses.
1-3, Archway Cottages 3 houses.
8-15 and 18-21, Havelock Road 12 houses.
At the beginning of 1935, official representations were made with regard
to the various houses and the procedure under the Housing Act of 1930
was set in motion. At the same time, plans were advanced for the construction
of about sixty houses on a site obtained in Allen by Road for the
re-housing of the tenants displaced by the slum clearance proposals.
