Public Conveniences.
It is very satisfactory to note that a scheme for the provision of
the much needed convenience for women in or near the High Road,
Kilburn, has been adopted by the Borough Council after protracted
negotiations with the London County Council and the Willesden Urban
District Council, which latter Authority has agreed to pay halt the cost
of election and maintenance. A site has been obtained abutting upon
"Grangeway," just off the High Road.
The Borough Council has also adopted two other schemes, one for
providing accommodation for men and women at West End Green;
and one for men only and the Cemetery staff at Fortune Green.
The question of the provision of a convenience for women near the
Finchley Road Metropolitan Railway Station, and one for both sexes at
Chalk Farm is under consideration.
A certain amount of limited accommodation for women has been
provided by the London County Council in an enclosure at the top of
Heath Street, near the White Stone Pond, which will be greatly
appreciated by visitors to Hampstead Heath.
