Facilities for sport are ample, including two excellent open air
swimming baths at Chiswick as well as a first class covered
bath at Brentford. The Chiswick part of the Borough has in
addition excellent public baths and washhouses, while although
there are public baths in connection with the Brentford
Swimming Bath, the provision of a public washhouse in
Brentford would, I feel sure, fill a much-needed want.
The supply of electricity within a portion of the Borough is
now under the control of the Council, and rapid progress is
being made in making this supply adequate, cheaper and within
better reach of the inhabitants.
Transport facilities are excellent.
The district is both residential and industrial and the rapid
increase of modern and up-to-date factories in the Great West
Road area cannot but help to add to the general prosperity of
the Borough.
