This list was duly forwarded to the London County
Council with an application for that body to declare them
to be main roads under the Highways and Locomotives
(Amendment) Act, 1878, and the Local Government (England
and Wales) Act, 1888.
To this the Council have replied that they have considered
the application of this Vestry, that certain thoroughfares
in the parish specified in the resolution of the Vestry
of the 27th March, 1882, might be declared by the Council
to be main roads under the provisions of the Local Government
Act, 1888, Sections 11 and 41 (4), and the Highways
and Locomotives Act, 1878, and that the Council is of
opinion that there is not probable cause for such application,
and declines to accede to it.
Your Committee therefore recommended to, and the
Vestry passed, the following resolution:—
"That having regard to the importance of this decision
of the London County Council, a conference of the Vestries
and District Boards of the Metropolis, be convened by this
Vestry, to decide upon the action to be taken, and that it
be referred to your Committee to carry out such conference."
