of the latter is being adapted for occupation by a tenant disabled by
multiple sclerosis.
Future Housing Programme.
Plans have been passed and a tender accepted for the erection of
35 flats on the Hardwicke Road site at Ham comprising 4 threebedroomed
flats, 8 two-bedroomed flats, 14 two-bedroomed maisonettes,
7 bed-sittingroom type flats and 2 one-bedroomed flats which are
specially designed for occupation by disabled persons.
In 1964 the Council rented and adapted a house (86, Queen's
Road) for use as emergency accommodation. The accommodation
comprises 6 rooms with bathroom and kitchen facilities which can be
used either singly or in combination to rehouse evicted families, and
during the year three such families were accommodated.
