and West Meadow as a Park without further delay, the land having been

Ecclesiastical Commissioners have during the year threatened to reconsider the
question of the grant.
5. The importance of the Rights of Lammas over the 77 acres known as
Lammas Lands, or of arranging compensation for them.
6. The advisability of the construction of the Cromwell Road Bridge.
