It comprised the metropolitan boroughs of Bethnal Green, Poplar and Stepney. Figures for total housing completions in these three boroughs are shown for the period 1961 to 1965. 2 Figures show number of dwellings completed by the authority and some of these may have been outside the borough. 3 Completions by London county council (ie prior to 1966) are not available by area of building. 4 The Greater London council was established in 1965 and abolished in 1986. 5Prior to 1980 housing association and other public sector completions in the borough are not available separately. The figures have not been shown separately after that date as the local authority has reported nil activity under both headings. 6 Private sector, borough and other public sector information covers ten months of the year only.
