28. The South Eastern Railway Company have been
approached and asked to put in crossings over their entrances to
Eltham Station, but they have not seen their way to do anything
up to the present.
29. Plan and application have been referred to the Board
and passed for a new road called Meadowcourt Road leading out
of Eltham Road and over the River Quaggy to Lee Road. This
road has been constructed, but the bridge over the Quaggy
instead of being 40 feet is only 38 feet wide. The London
Council's attention was called to this, but they decided to let it
remain as it was and and no further action was taken.
30. The "Crown" having given up possession of a strip of
land in Court Road for the purpose of widening it, they were
asked instead of putting up the old unsightly wooden fence, to
erect an unclimbable iron fence, which they agreed to do, and
asked the Board to erect it, and charge them with the cost.
This work has been done and makes a great improvement at
that spot.
31. Several applications having been made to the London
County Council to sanction erections beyond the general line of
frontages, and having been submitted to the Board, were
approved by the Board with the exception of shop fronts in
Novar Road, New Eltham, but this application was granted by
the Council.
