Report of the Plant and Scavenging Committee upon the
proposed Vestry Depôt, on a Site of Land near the
East Dulwich or Champion Hill Railway Station.
We have given careful and full consideration to the
Report of the Surveyor, and also to the numerous letters
and Memorials in reference to the above matter, received by
the Vestry, and which were committed by them to our
consideration.
In reporting thereon, we have thought it best,
first to deal with the Surveyor's Report in its several
sections.
Your Surveyor in the first section refers to the
presumed necessity for the establishment of a Depôt for
Plant and Scavenging purposes in the Southern part of
the Parish as follows:—
"Firstly. As to the necessity for the establishment of
a Depôt for Plant and Scavenging purposes, in the Southern
portion of the Parish. Such necessity has for a long time
been in the mind of the several Committees who have had
charge of this department, and which, under conditions, I
am inclined to recommend. The quantity of Road debris,
and also House dust is yearly increasing, and at the present
time has assumed very large dimensions, entailing a great
annual expenditure for its collection and removal. The
idea of a Mid or semi-central Depôt to arrest the Southern
portion of this collection on its present transit down to the
Glengall Road Depôt, is therefore in my judgment worthy
of consideration."
