Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Committee—That upon the Company
agreeing to lay wood in front of Christ Church and maintain the same, the Vestry consent
to an additional passing place on the north side of Union Road.
On 1st June, 1897, the Vestry had before them a letter from the Secretary of the London,
Deptford and Greenwich Tramways Company, Limited, stating in reply to the Vestry's
letter of 20th May, 1897, that the Directors, while being obliged to the Vestry for giving
consent to the insertion of a new passing place on the north side of Union Road as indicated,
and agreeing as they did to the laying and maintaining of wood paving immediately in front
of Christ Church, they desired to emphasise the point that the same must not bo construod
into a precedent for any similar alteration of paving by any person or body whatever, so far
as that Company are concerned, and that upon hearing from the Vestry confirming the
same, the construction of the passing place would be proceeded with forthwith; also that
the Directors understood that the wood to be used is to be the hardest possible, and that the
Vestry will pave the three feet outside the rails at the same time as they do the space
between the Company's margin and the kerb, the Vestry charging the Company the net
price thereof.
Resolved—That the Clerk write in reply, stating that the Vestry cannot bind themselves
not to approach the Company with regard to the laying of wood paving at any other point
on the main road traversed by the Company's lines.
The wood paving works were carried out during the year.
