Maintenance of Channels and Footways.
The general repairs and renewals of flagged footways,
crossings and channels throughout the Parish,
also the restoring of all disturbed places, consequent
upon new services for Gas and Water Companies,
drains, scaffolds, and hoardings, have been carried out
by the Vestry's staff of workmen. 3 miles, 4 furlongs
and 120 yards lineal of old footways have been
renewed, and 2,631 yards super of channels and
carriageway paving relaid.
In August, the repairing of Westbourne Grove,
from end to end was taken in hand. The repaving of
this important thoroughfare was absolutely necessary,
considerable trouble had always been experienced in
getting some of the occupiers and owners to agree to
relay their private portion at the same time, but this
difficulty was satisfactorily arranged, with the exception
of about half-a-dozen occupiers, who still stand
out, and do not consider themselves liable to repair
