Bridge, and resolved to take proceedings for acquiring the
necessary lands under the provisions of the General Paving
(Metropolis) Act, 1817. Negotiations were accordingly commenced
but ultimately abandoned, the Vestry having resolved to
take no further steps therein.
Widening
of Latchmere
Road
and Amies
Street.
With a view to the completion of the improvement
of Latchmere Road and Amies Street, which
thoroughfares are to be widened in front of the land
belonging to the School Board for London, as mentioned in
their last annual report, the Vestry on the 26th June, resolved
to acquire under the provisions of the General Paving
(Metropolis) Act, 1817, the piece of land projecting into Amies
Street at the corner of Dorothy Road, and the necessary steps
are now being taken in the matter.
Northcote
Road
Extension.
Reference was made in the last annual report to a
communication addressed to the late Metropolitan
Board of Works with a view to the acquirement of the
necessary land for carrying out the extension of Northcote
Road through to Chatham Road as a Metropolitan improvement,
but the late Board then informed the Vestry that the
communication reached the Board too late to admit of the
question being considered in connection with an application to
Parliament in the ensuing session for powers to effect the
improvement. The Vestry have, however, had the matter
constantly under their notice, and on the 22nd January, upon
consideration of a letter from the Superintending Architect of
the London County Council, inviting the suggestions of the
Vestry upon an application for the formation of new streets
upon the Bolingbroke Grove Estate between Bolingbroke
Grove and Webb's Road, they decided to inform
the Council that they had no objection to offer to the formation
of the proposed new streets, but suggested that the Council should
require the portions of the estate abutting upon the Bolingbroke
Grove and Webb's Road to be given up to form part of
those thoroughfares, and drew the attention of the Council
to the extreme desirability of Northcote Road being continued
