Council to modernise 76 houses at Badsey – Provision of hot water systems planned

Good news for 76 Council house tenants in Synehurst, Badsey, emerged from Monday’s meeting of Evesham Rural District Council.  Their houses are next on the list in the Council’s pre-war house-modernisation plan, and when they meet again next month councillors will have before them a scheme for providing the Synehurst tenants with hot water systems.

This was later approved in April 1959, as reported in The Birmingham Daily Post of Tuesday 21st April 1959:

The council was informed that the Ministry of Housing and Local Government had approved the council’s proposal to install hot water systems in 71 council houses at Synehurst, Badsey, at an estimated cost of £5,890.  It was resolved that the work be carried out by the council’s direct labour force.
