Notification was received from the London County
Council that, in accordance with the compulsory powers obtained
under the London County Council (Tunnel and Improvements)
Act, 1938, for the purposes of the Blackwall Tunnel Duplication
scheme, they will be requiring, by the end of 1961, the land upon
which the Tunnel Avenue Convenience is situated. However, as the
work on the tunnel had been somewhat delayed, this site was not
required until after the end of the financial year ending 5th April,
1964.
