19. Nearly three acres of land have been purchased by the
Board from the Freeholder, situate on the west side of Anchor
and Hope Lane for £1,025; a portion of it has been fenced in
with close boarded fence for Store-yard, and another portion
let to the Charlton Vestry for allotments, for which the Vestry
pays to the Board the sum of £3 per annum.
20. Surveys, plans, sections and estimates have been prepared
for the paving of two sections of the Woolwich Road with
Guernsey Granite Setts, Kerbing, and Channelling. Copies of
the plans and estimates have been forwarded to London County
Council, and application made to them for a loan to carry out
the work. The present cost of maintenance of the above road is
very great, and every year it gets greater, owing to the increase
of traffic since the Free Ferry has been opened.
