Housing of the Working ('lasses Act, 1890.—On the 16th
April, 1891, a letter was submitted from the Housing of the
Working Classes Committee of the London County Council, stating
they were of opinion that the two modes of dealing with Turner's
Court and premises adjacent, indicated by the plans forwarded by
the Vestry, appeared to contemplate a local street improvement
rather than a scheme under Part 2 of the Act, and they were unable
to recommend either plan for the approval of the Council; they also
forwarded an alternative plan, and suggested the preparation of a
scheme and the appointment by the Vestry of a Committee to confer
with them (the Council's Committee) as to details and as to
the contribution, if any, to be made by the Council, and further
stated it wast essential that provision should be made for re-housing
all persons of the working-class displaced. Whereupon the Committee
were informed that the Vestry were unable to see how any
improvement in the area could be effected by the plan proposed and
they were not prepared to accept it, that the plans submitted by the
Vestry were prepared with a view to provide dwelling's for the
working-classes and to improve the thoroughfare of Turner's Court,
and the Committee were further informed that the Vestry would be
pleased to confer with them (the Committee) to consider plans and
to discuss the whole question.
