tract entered into with Mr. E. Proctor for the erection of p.
building, consisting of eight rooms and accessories, on the
Vestry's land, Parkdale Road, for use as a Health Refuge.
55. Plumstead Common Surface Water.— At the request of
the London County Council the surface water from the
Common, previously discharging into the Bathing pond, was
diverted by means of a 9-in. pipe into the Lakedale Road
sewer. The work was carried out by the Vestry's workmen,
the London County Council contributing towards the cost. A
storm overflow chamber was constructed at the point of diversion,
so that in times of excessive rain, the old length of sewer
would act as a relief sewer.
56. White Hart Lane.—Plans have been prepared, in conjunction
with the Engineer, South-Eastern Railway Company,
under an agreement, for the lowering of White Hart Lane,
and the construction of a road northward to the Crossness
Sewer Road, and also for the deviation of the White Hart
Lane storm overflow, to be carried under this road and connected
with the outfall.
57. Cmpland Terrace.—Plans have been prepared for the
better drainage of Coupland Terrace, and provision for the
work is made in the Estimates 1896-7.
58. Southland Road Sewer.—A new length of sewer has
been put in from Wickham Lane along Southland Road, and
notices served on owners to connect.
59. St. Margaret's Church Improvement.— Arrangements
have been made with the Vicar and Churchwardens of St.
Margaret's Church, for setting back and finishing off in a
curved line from the corner of the adjacent property to the
entrance gate, the railing in front of St. Margaret's Church.
A lump sum will be paid by the Vestry for this work on its
being carried out to my satisfaction.
