PARISH OF WANDSWORTH.
During the past year South Street has been widened
on the east side between Malva Road and the Turk's
Head public house. The now footpath has been kerbed
with 12 in. by 8 in. Norwegian granite and paved with
Victoria stone. The old kerbing taken up was rejointed
and laid on the opposite side of the road. A tar-paved path
was also constructed on the west side of the road, 3 gullies
were fixed, and new 4 inch by 7 inch channelling was
laid on both sides of the road. The total cost for labour
and materials was £380 5s. 2d. and for purchase of the
land £500.
In Jews Row a footpath of an average width of 7 feet
has been formed, kerbed, and tar-paved on land given up
by the Tramways Company to widen the road to 40 feet.
The total cost was £8 2s. 5d.
Owing to the dangerous and unprotected state of the
footpath adjoining the river Wandle in the Causeway
between the railway bridge and the wash gate, a post and
rail fence has been erected at a cost of £30.
At Summerstown the roadway has been widened on the
west side between Nos. 62 and 90, and a tar-paved footpath
formed and kerbed at a cost of £38 15s. 7d.
The old tar-paving on the north side of Upper
Richmond Road, between the parish boundary and
Oakhill Road, has been taken up and the footpath repaved
with 2½ inch York stone; the kerbing has been re-set on
concrete, new 4 inch by 7 inch Leicestershire granite
channelling has been provided, and 9 crossings to
gateways laid with Staffordshire blue panel bricks,
at a total cost of £255 17s. l0d.
