| AdminHistory | The Housing Sub-Committee was appointed in February 1903, and consisted of four members. Its function, though a little vague, was to obtain any information that may assist in the solving of the local housing problem. This later changed to a more formal directive, as in; the examination of the cost of private compared to municipally erected housing; rent charges in the private sector; locations for municipal housing; the effect of municipal housing on private sector; types of tenant; and causes of the present unsanitary conditions. Information gleaned was entered into an ‘Information Book’ and not into the minutes. In 1904 the purpose of the sub-committee appears to change to an advisory function for the Bordesley Green site, with the sub-committee meeting infrequently to discuss issues until March 1907. |
