CHURCH STREET IMPROVEMENT
under Parliamentary This improvement is being carried by the London County Council,
On the 28th May 1889, the Vestry presented a memorial to the London
County Council, asking them to contribute a larger amount towards the
expenses of the improvement, and a deputation attended and supported the
memorial. The Council however decided not to increase their contribution
to the cost.
ROAD BETWEEN PERHAM ROAD AND MAY STREET.
A continuation of the Vereker Road has existed for some time between
Perham Road and May Street. The Vestry on the 21st January, 1890
having decided to repair it, on commencing the work orders were
given by the Solicitors, claiming ownership, to fence in the land. The
Vestry proceeded against the persons erecting the barricade, for
obstructing the thoroughfare, but on the case being tried before
Mr. Plowden, on the 12th day of March, 1890, the decision was given
against the Vestry.
TRAFALGAR HOUSE, FULHAM ROAD.
This property formerly occupied as the Vestry's yard is now for sale.
On the 16th November, 1889, I prepared a plan of it, and forwarded the
same to the agent acting for the Vestry. Up to the present time it has
not yet found a purchaser, although the property is capitally situated, and
the premises convenient and well built.
PUBLIC CONVENIENCES.
The urinal in Walham Green opposite the "George Hotel," was removed
on the 2nd November, 1889, the Vestry having under consideration the
erection of an underground one in the Broadway, in the place of it.
The London County Council have also been asked to construct accommodation
of this character on Eelbrook Common, but up to the present time
no definite result has been obtained.
INSANITARY AREAS AND ARTIZANS DWELLINGS.
The London County Council having asked for a report and returns as to
any insanitary areas in this District, I have visited a great number of
properties and reported on their condition. Only three of them were in
my opinion entitled to be classed as insanitary areas, and my report, together
with plans of the properties were forwarded to the London County Council.
The London County Council or the Vestry have not as yet taken any
definite action on the reports.
Actine on the instructions of the Vestry, letters have been written to the
trustees of Guiness's fund, calling their attention to the facilities existing
in this district, for the erection of properties suitable for the occupation
the working classes.
