Conversion of Shop.
During the year 80, Manor Grove, a shop with living accommoda-
tion above owned by the Council, was converted into two one
bedroomed flats.
Current Building Programme.
The redevelopment of the Ham Close site (192 dwellings) is now
in progress and the first flats and maisonettes are expected to be
ready for occupation at the beginning of March, 1964. Among the
first will be the three-bedroomed flats and bed-sitting room flatlets.
These are designed to provide adjoining but separate accommodation
for a family and an elderly parent or relative.
Thereafter there will be a continuous flow of flats ready for occupation
until the completion of the contract.
