Gollans Valley As A Housing Area?
The Eastbourne Borough Council decided last night to advise the Minister of Housing (Mr. Sullivan) that there was no land available in the borough for housing, but to suggest the idea of looking into the question of developing Gollans Valley.
The council had before it a circular letter from the Minister to local bodies, asking them to carry out surveys of land available that might be suitable for housing.
The Mayor (Mr. C. L. Bishop) said that as much as the council would like to help, there was nothing available in the borough except the odd section.
At the same time, there was no harm in suggesting that development of Gollans Valley, which was in the Hutt County.
