of the Sub-Commitee's report the Public Health Com
mittee came to the conclusion that there was need for
increased accommodation both for men and women,
especially the latter, at the Walham Green convenience,
and they instructed the Borough Surveyor to prepare a
plan for erecting a new one-storey building over the
existing structure for the use of women, and for the
utilisation of the whole of the existing underground
accommodation by men. The accommodation at the
date of the Sub-Committee's inspection was as follows:—
Men—4 W.C.s; 10 urinals; 3 wash-basins.
Women—4 W.C.s; 2 wash-basins.
The Borough Surveyor's report and plans provided
for the following accommodation:—
Men—7 W.C.s; 16 urinals; suitable washing accommodation
and attendant's box.
Women—8 W.C.s, (2 of which were to be free); washing
accommodation and attendant's box.
The Council at their meeting on 25th September,
1929, resolved to adopt the proposals of the Borough
Surveyor and the new convenience is now in the course
of erection.
The Council have also had under consideration the
provision of additional conveniences in other areas and
by arrangement with the London County Council designs
have been prepared for the erection of a two-storey
building in conjunction with the widening of Putney
Bridge, to provide sanitary accommodation for both
sexes. The existing men's urinal on Putney Bridge
will be demolished.
