CIIURCH STREET, FULHAM.
The Board received a very influential deputation
from Fulham, who presented a numerously signed memorial
calling attention to the narrow and very dangerous road
known as Church Street, and asking the Board to consider
the matter and provide a remedy for the evils complained
of in the memorial.
Church Street is now one of the most important
thoroughfares from the West of London to Putney, Richmond,
Wimbledon, Hampton Court, Kempton Park and
Epsom, and there is daily what may be termed a great
Metropolitan traffic. The Board carefully considered the
matter in all its bearings, and came to the conclusion that
the widening of the street was an improvement which
should be carried out by the Metropolitan Board of Works,
and the Board have accordingly asked that Board to include
the scheme in one of their Hybrid Bills for improvement
in the Metropolis, but up to the present time
no decision has been come to by the Metropolitan Board
STREETS PARTLY SITUATE IN OTHER PARISHES.
A small portion of Holland Road is situate in the
Parish of Hammersmith, and an order has been made by
the Metropolitan Board, under Sec. 140 of the Metropolis
Local Management Act, 1855, placing the whole of
Holland Road (including the portion in Hammersmith
Parish) under the exclusive management of the Vestry off
Kensington for the purposes of maintenance and cleansing,
for which this Board pay to the Vestry the sum of £35
per annum.
