City of Birmingham : Housing Management Department : Handbook 1964 - 1965 : Foreword 1
City of Birmingham : Housing Management Department : Handbook 1964 - 1965 : Foreword 1

An interesting booklet issued in 1964 - 65 by the City of Bimringham's Housing Management Committee for their municipal tenants. At the time of publication the Department was responsible for 140,000 homes and was also dealing with the requests for housing from 47,000 people. It includes details of the various rules and regulations enforced for tenants as well as services provided by the City Council and various suppliers.

The foreword, by the Chairman of the Committee, gives an interesting background to the work of the Department and the context in which it took place. Specifically it describes slum clearance programmes and the scheme of 'reconditioning' that Birmingham City Council chose to help allieviate the critical need for new homes.
