NEW STREETS.
During the year you have made and formed, at the expense
of the owners, Thicket Road, Penge, under a contract with Messrs.
Beevers of £835, and also nearly completed the roads in South
Penge Park, Penge, under a contract, excepting gullies, of £1067
18s. 6d., with Mr. Wm. Carter. Park Road, Forest Hill, was also
kerbed and channelled with Aberdeen granite by contract with
Mr. Samuel Hobbs for £577 Gs. 8d., the remaining portion of the
work being done by the Board themselves; but as the same was
completed after Lady-day, 1870, the cost will go into next year's
report. The paving of Royal Parade Mews, Blackheath, was also
commenced, the work being done by contract with Mr. White for
the sum of £125, excepting gullies.
Plans, specifications, and estimates were prepared by me for
paving and forming Brunswick Place, Hadlow Place, Raglan
Street, Havelock Mews, Canterbury Road, Ravensbourne Villas
Road, &c., and some of these works are in progress. Apportionments
of the expense of making and forming them have been made
and contracts let for the whole.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN CARLINE,
Surveyor of Highways.
HIGHWAYS.
