lay-out is for 246 houses, but the contract now being executed
only covers 100. Two roads with new sewers have had to be
formed and were carried out under contract. The houses are all
of the "B" type.
The general description of drainage will follow Tomswood'
Hill, the houses on Horns Road being connected up to existing
sewers in that road, but all houses on new roads will be connected
up to new sewers in the roads, ultimately discharging into
existing sewer in Horns Road.
In Ley Street a scheme for 60 houses is being carried out on
a rectangular piece of ground of 5.012 acres at the junction of
Ley Street with Wards Road West. A new road will be made
to give access to 40 houses; the remaining 20 are placed along
the Ley Street frontage. The houses are all of the "B" type
with accommodation as described for Tomswood Hill, and with
the exception of two houses are all carried out with brick walls
roughcasted on the outside and the roofs covered with slates.
The two exceptions are built with concrete walls and partitions,
the exteriors finished with rockfaced concrete blocks, in place of
roughcast, the roofs being covered with tiles.
The general description of drainage is the same as to the
above schemes, the houses facing Ley Street being drained into
the existing sewers in that street. With regard to the houses in
the new road, 12 at the northern end will discharge into the
existing sewer in Wards Road West, while the remainder will
discharge their sewage into a new sewer to be laid at the southern
end; of the site aind passing along the footpath, finally discharging
into the existing sewer in Ley Street. The surface water from
four houses at the northern end of the new road will discharge
into the existing surface water sewer in Wards Road West, while
the remaining houses will discharge into' a new sewer to be made
in the centre of the road, connecting up to the existing surface
water sewer at the southern end of the site.
