The owners of the other properties herein mentioned were
invited to attend the Meeting of the Health Committee, but
accepted the decision of the Council to demolish as provided by
the Act.
All the condemned properties were not dealt with at the same
time. "Representations" were made with regard to the Botten's
Place and VVorple Way Clearance Areas as the first part of the
whole scheme. In May, the Benn's Cottages and Union Court
properties were represented and in the Autumn the representations
regarding the individual unfit houses were made. As land was
available at Ham the first of the new buildings were erected there,
followed by others in Braddon Road (Richmond). As these are
completed, the houses in the Botten's Place and Worple Way
Areas will be cleared and the tenants removed to the new
dwellings by easy stages.
Good progress has been made during the year in the erection
of 102 new houses to replace those demolished under Clearance
Area Schemes and demolition of individual unfit houses. The
following gives particulars of the houses already erected and
occupied in connection with the first slum clearance scheme and
those about to be erected and which it is expected will be finished
during 1934.
Particulars of Houses now erected to replace those demolished
under First Slum Clearance Scheme.

These 74 Houses and Flats are now completed with the
exception of six which will be finished by the middle of June.
