In the last Report I referred to the increased traffic and
consequent additional wear and tear on our Parochial Roads,
caused by the Sewers and Railway works now in execution in
this Parish, this has continued during the past year, but to a
more limited extent; nevertheless, these causes, added to the
traffic so visibly increasing on our suburban Roads, necessitates
a larger amount of material and labour beyond that
which would fairly be due to the local traffic only.
THE NEW KIRBING,
Which I have just referred to, has been fairly distributed
throughout the several Wards of the Parish, and as stated (in
anticipation) in my last year's Report, upwards of eight miles
of Kirbing has been laid down, and the last vote of the Vestry
on this item of expenditure, will still further increase this
quantity by about four miles in length.
NEW ROADS.
One additional Road, viz., Sydenham Rise, leading from
Lapse Lane to Sydenham Hill, has been dedicated to the
public, being in length about 350 yards.
The above Road was adopted by the Vestry as a Road of
public utility, at the desire of the Governors of Dulwich
College.
