HOUSING AUTHORITY'S BUILDING PROGRAMME
GATHERING MOMENTUM,
ANNUAL REPORT REVEALS
The Housing Authority's building programme is beginning to
gather momentum with twice as many flats completed in 1975/76 as in the
previous year.
This is stated in the Annual Report of the Housing Authority
for the last financial year, just released.
Since it was formed in 1973, the report reveals, the Authority
has built 26,000 flats to house up to 173,000 people.
"Production this year was considerably higher than in 1974/75
with over twice as many flats completed (11,027 compared with 5,500)."
It goes on: "The building programme
inning to gather
momentum; seven new estates were started during the year bringing the
total of estates under construction to 14, and annual production of flats
will be progressively increased over the next few years."
The report also says that the Building Committee has approved
new designs for domestic blocks in future estates.
The basic design would create a sense of community among
residents by grouping families in small clusters on each floor and would
at the same time provide more privacy for individual flats.
