The total number of housing properties now owned by the
Council is 4,407 including 345 temporary dwellings.
This year saw the completion and occupation of the first 84

this Council. The scheme provides for an eventual total of 776 houses,
flats and maisonettes, heated from a central oil fired boiler installation
and provided with a communal laundry. Included in the scheme will
be 245 one-bedroomed flats, a proportion of which will be designated
for occupation by elderly persons.
In addition to the above a small scheme of six elderly persons'
flats was completed and let.
During the year, 124 families were rehoused from the waiting
list, leaving 1,292 applications on the register at the end of the year.
