HOUSING.
During the year 1928, the number of houses granted to families
from Southwark by the London County Council amounted to 133, they
were distributed as follows:—
Downham 59 Barnes 6
Hendon 39 Tottenham 1
Becontree 27 Tabard Street 1
The Hatfield Street and Paris Gardens district which I represented
in 1926, is being proceeded with, and the slum area thereon has been
cleared, alternative accommodation having been provided for the tenants
by the London County Council.
The scheme for the clearance of a considerable area in Hard Street
and Townley Street was put forward, and progress was made during
the year concerning the preliminary steps.
