HOUSING.
Number of houses erected during the year -
By private enterprise - 1 house
4 flats.
By Tottenham Borough Council - 6 houses
(completion of Scotland Green Estate)
Routine housing work was largely in abeyance throughout
the year, curing the first few months, most of the Sanitary
Inspectors were occupied with the administration and supervision
of the A.R.P. Ambulance repots, and the Chief Sanitary Inspector
acted as ambulance Officer until May.
Subsequently, the repair of war damage became the
responsibility of the Public Health Department, and during the
last 4 nonths of the year, the Sanitary Inspectors and clerical
staff were almost wholly engaged in this work.
Nevertheless, every effort was made to ensure that
dwelling houses in the Borough were maintained in a sanitary
condition.
Informal notices served numbered 1,173, and Statutory
Notices under the Public Health and Housing Acts numbered 231.
66 premises included in Clearance Areas were reported
demolished during the year.
The buildings demolished now total 385, causing the
displacement of 1,673 persons.
All the families in confirmed Clearance Area Schemes
have been rehoused.
