DANGEROUS BUILDINGS DIVISION
5.14
Chief Building Surveyor: P.H. HAYWARD, A.R.I.C.S. (Acting)
The number of closures and demolitions of prewar buildings continued to decrease in consequence of the diminishing number of such buildings remaining as a result of the action of this division and the redevelopment of sites occupied by prewar buildings.
