REPORT, 1887-8.
Amberley Road,
Cirencester Street,
Wood Chester Street,
Cleveland Square,
Princes Square (opposite Nos. 10 and 36),
Leinster Square (opposite Nos. 1, 10, 19,
45, and 56),
Salem Road (by Moscow Road).
The total cost being £571 19s. 4d.
In consequence of certain defects in a portion of
the arch of sewer in Edbrooke Road, owing to faulty
construction, the particulars of which I fully reported
on in December last, it was found necessary to rebuild
the same, at a cost of £67 4s. ld.
The severe thunderstorm, accompanied by the
heavy rainfall that occurred on the 17th August last,
caused certain low-lying portions of the Parish to be
flooded. It will be remembered that I fully reported
on this matter in November and December last.
The Metropolitan Board of Works have fixed
during the year side entrances and tidal flaps at the
outlets of the sewers in Lancaster Gate and Queen's
Road, the latter being placed to prevent the backing
up of storm water from the middle-level sewer.
They have also constructed a man-hole entrance
into the Ranelagh Sewer in Chichester Road, and a side
entrance by the south-eastern corner of the Ranelagh
Bridge approach and opposite the Gloucester Hotel.
