Imperial Road.
Information having been received that the Gas Light and Coke
Company were constructing camp sheathing works at the end of Imperial
Road, which the Board considered would, when completed, cause
an obstruction to the public highway, and prevent free access to the
river. A notice was served upon the Company calling upon them to
discontinue the works, which they however declined to do. The Solicitors
were then instructed to take the necessary steps to obtain an
injunction to restrain the Company from interfering in any way with
the free access of the public to the River Thames. The AttorneyGeneral's
fiat was obtained in due course, and certain further proceedings
taken, when the Company opened negotiations for an arrangement
of the matter, and stated their willingness to carry out the work
in such a manner as not to create any obstruction or interfere in any
way with the rights of the public.
The Company submitted a plan shewing how this could be done, and
the plan being considered satisfactory it was arranged that the work
might be proceeded with, subject to the Company agreeing to conform
to the plan, and to give up to the public the land reclaimed by their
works from the river, so far as it extended across the end of the
Imperial Road.
The Board were saved a considerable expense by the Company thus
undertaking the work which the Board would otherwise have had to do
under the Thames River Prevention of Floods Act, 1879.
