Several discussions have taken place during the year between the
Bridge House Estates Committee and representatives of the London
County Council and this Council regarding the various properties under
the control of the City Corporation.
Informal discussions have since taken place between the various
officers of the above Authorities, with a view to formulating concrete
schemes for re-housing purposes.
As a result of these meetings, the majority of the houses in
Tupman Place have already been emptied, and the families re-housed

Estates; in due course the Tupman Place site will be cleared and blocks
of flats erected.
At the time of writing this report several other schemes are being
investigated, which will be reported upon in due course.
