By the end of the year approximately one-half of these houses were completed and occupied^ -Preparatory work was in hand with*regard to further permanent•housing proposals and at the end of the‘year plans were being prepared in respect ,of the next site - The Ridgeway - on which it is proposed to erect '32 two-bedroom houses, 2 three-bedroom houses, and 8 aged-persons bungalows. Towards the end of the year the Ministry of Health had intimated that the 32 two-bedroom-type houses could be proceeded with as the 19 4-9 allocation. Temporary housing arrangements were brought to completion at Boreham Comp, whore there are now 72 'huts converted to temporary dwellings, and in addition 35 huts whioh have been occupied by squatters, these having]also now been taken over by the Council so far as general maintenance and repair is concerned. In this connection communal sanitary arrangements were' provided towards the en&^O-f -the'year so that the accommodation i's at present reasonably satisfactory, although there is some concern as to the future position, particularly as these huts are. of a temporary character, and will deteriorate seriously during- the ■ next two ..years There are 14- other *ex-Army‘huts at the Drill Hall Site; whioh have also been occupied-by squatters, and in this case also the Council have now accepted responsibility for essential repairs; but as in](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30234335_0004.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
