Kinglake Street—No. 1 Area.
The Council recommended that the London County Council be
notified that at the expiration of 2 months they would take into consideration
the making of a Clearance Order.
The London County Council intimated that they did not intend
themselves to deal with this area.
Since making this representation, we find that the owners have
been reconditioning many of the houses in this area. It would appear
that the action taken by this department has stimulated the owners
to improve their property, which is all to the good in one sense, but
renders any immediate action by the Council or its officers extremely
difficult and remote.
Orb Street and South Street Areas.
The London County Council have intimated that they are prepared
to consider dealing with these areas when circumstances permit, as
a County Scheme.
Alvey Street Area.
The Council recommended that the London County Council be
notified that at the expiration of 2 months they will take into consideration
the making of a Clearance Order.
The London County Council are of opinion that this area should
be dealt with on the lines of an Improvement Scheme rather than one
of clearance.
Gerridge Street Area.
The Council recommended that the London County Council be
notified that at the expiration of 2 months they will take into consideration
the making of a Clearance Order.
The London County Council intimated that they did not intend
themselves to deal with this area.
Since this area was represented, a portion of the land has been
sold by the owner for industrial purposes, which has rendered the
site unsuitable for re-housing purposes.
The remaining property has been reconditioned at much expense
by the owner and rendered fit for human habitation.
Zoar Street Area.
This area was represented for clearance, owing to congestion, bad
arrangement, and general disrepair of the property. In the opinion of
the London County Council, the site was only suitable for industrial
purposes.
HOUSING ACT, 1930 (Sec. 17).
