Deposit of Refuse on St. John's Villa Estate, West Norwood.
Complaint was received in February, 1904, as to the depositing
of black slop on the St. John's Villa Estate, West Norwood, at
the rear of houses in Casewick Road, thereby creating a
nuisance. The black slop was found to be the dredgings of a
pond in a neighbouring Borough, and its deposit in Lambeth
Borough was stopped forthwith—a letter of apology being, at
the time, received from the Contractor.
Cookson's Wharf, Albert Embankment.
Several complaints have been received during 1904 as to a
nuisance arising in connection with Cookson's Wharf, Albert
Embankment, where the slop and dust from the Holborn Borough
is dealt with, e.g., transferred from the carts to the barges. The
slop is deposited on the Wharf and left to drain, but no nuisance
in this respect is found, though the slop is unsightly.
