LONDO.x, December 11
‘‘l feel a real pleasure i u being able to assist in any serious scheme to get rid of' the housing problem, that evil of modern civilisation,” said'the Duke of Kent when he opened Hampstead Council’s new £140,000 Westcroft housing estate at Cricklewood. - ‘‘l am very, glad■ tp hear,” he continued. “that in this estate there is a. splendid children’s playground of fin acre,and a quarter There is also:provision made for a community centre. Another feature is that houses and flats, are both to be found in this estate. “Perhaps the most interesting fear ture of all is that the estate is one of the first housing schemes to be carried out without Government subsidy. It is' ,therefore, an excellent, example of those concerned attacking and seeking to solve problems that concern themselves more than anyone else.”-
