There will be no new public house in the Clarence Street, Folkestone, area when it is redeveloped by the town council. When the council made a compulsory purchase order so that it could clear and re­develop the street it pro­mised brewers that it would provide a site for an inn to replace the Mechanics Arms. Now the brewers have in­formed the council that they do not want another site. They do not think a new public house in the area would be a paying proposi­tion. The council expects soon to start demolition work in the street The council is being recommended to authorise the Town Clerk to take proceed­ings to evict tenants who do not comply with notices to quit.
