Progress during the year was again restricted owing to the pause in the building programme for Council Houses. Building will be resumed in 1963 when further action to clear unfit dwellings can be taken. In the meantime a few tenants of sub-standard houses are being rehoused in existing Council houses and other sub-standard properties are dealt with as they become vacant.
