The Vestry adopted the resolution of your Committee
to the effect that the Council were informed that the
proposed Amendment was approved by this Vestry.
Plough Lane Footpath. Your Committee having
received complaints as to the nuisance arising from a
narrow footway running from Lordship Lane on the north
side of " The Plough " public-house, and at the rear of the
gardens of houses situate in Landells Road and thence
to the Goodrich Road, recommended the Vestry, That the
old line of narrow footway known as Plough Lane, leading
from Lordship Lane on the north side of "The Plough"
public-house, and commencing at or near the rear of No.
93, Landells Road to Goodrich Road, should be stopped
up, the same being unnecessary; and that the Vestry
exercising the office of Surveyors of the Highways of the
Parish, should by their Clerk or Chairman, apply to two
Justices to view the said footpath proposed to be stopped
up, and if it should appear to them upon such view that
the said footway was unnecessary, to direct the publication
of the requisite notices, so that application might be made
to the General Quarter Sessions for an order to stop up
the same.
This recommendation being adopted by the Vestry,
two Justices, (Messrs. Strong and Turney) viewed the footway,
and eventually informed the Vestry that they were
unable to certify that it was "unnecessary." In all
probability, therefore, this footway will require to be
further dealt with by the Vestry, more particularly as to
lighting.
