SEWERS AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
A scheme for the drainage of certain towns— Edmonton,
Enfield, and Walthamstow— in the Lea Valley, through and including
Leyton, by admission into the London County Council's
sewers, has been submitted to, and is now under the consideration
of the Council.
A new 5-feet sewer is in course of construction, extending
from the end of Sidmouth Road to the Sewage Works, this being
rendered necessary by the flooding which occurs from time to time
in this situation in times of heavy rainfall. The cost of this is
estimated at ,£3,295.
PUBLIC CONVENIENCE.
An underground public convenience for both sexes, at the
junction of the Lea Bridge and High Roads, Leyton, is now approaching
completion. This is the first one of the kind to be established
in Leyton. There is no doubt that it is badly wanted, and there
is room for more of the same kind in the district. Its estimated
cost is £1,347.
