Messrs. Guiver & Co.), requiring them to place Nos. 11 to 29 (odd numbers)
in a fit and proper condition; also on the owners of 59 to 87 (odd), St. Mary's
Road.
In December the Council supported this resolution from Llanelly:—"That
having regard to the present national emergency in respect of housing, no
scheme will, in the opinion of this Council, be effective unless it includes the
advancing of the necessary moneys to Local Authorities free of interest, and
that representation be made accordingly to the Ministry of Health."
Cornish's Estate.—In September it was reported that Mr. Cornish proposed
to develop his Bury Farm Estate and make a road from the west side of
Bury Street Bridge to Alberta Road, Bush Hill Park. He consulted our Engineer
as to the number of houses per acre and the make-up of the roads, but
(so far) this has not been proceeded with.
In December, Plan No. 3295, for four pairs of houses in Amberley Road
were approved, although their construction did not comply with our Building
By-Laws. Thus opportunity was taken by the owner of the relaxation allowed
by the Ministry of Health.
At the end of the year our Engineer, at the request of Mr. Cornish, sent
him a plan showing how his estate near the Nurses' Home should be laid out,
and how a road 45ft. wide could be made from Porlock Road to Wellington
Road, crossing Amberley Road. Mr. Cornish would not agree to these proposals,
and therefore the Council decided to leave the matter in abeyance.
Endeavour was made during the year to persuade the owner to develop
his estate between the Nurses' Home, Bury Street, and Wellington Road,
Bush Hill Park, on lines conforming to the Council's town plan of that area,
as it is most desirable for the public convenience that there should be a good
direct road between these two points.
