Miscellaneous,
The Vestry appointed a Special Committee consisting of the following gentlemen, viz :
Messrs. Francis John Bisley, John Bulmer, Samuel Chafen, Joseph Down, Robert
Foottit, Lawrence Stevens, and Henry Hayward, to confer with the Board of Works
for the Greenwich District with the view of co-operating with that Board, in urging
upon the Metropolitan Board of Works the necessity of the provision of increased
facilities for traffic in the Deptford Lower-road.
The said Committee met the Committee appointed by the Board of Works for the
Greenwich District, and inspected the Black Horse Bridge, Deptford, and the "Royal
Oak," corner of Deptford Lower-road, Rotherhithe, when the joint Committee passed a
resolution as follows, viz :
"Resolved, that it be recommended to the Greenwich District Board of Works, and
"to the Rotherhithe Vestry that a joint deputation be appointed to wait upon the
"Metropolitan Board of Works to urge upon that Board to carry out the proposals of
"the District Board as to Black Horse Bridge, and the approaches thereto ; and the
"Rotherhithe Vestry as to the 'Royal Oak ' corner, as Metropolitan Improvements.
The Vestry on the 6th April, 1886, adopted the recommendation of the joint
Committee, and appointed the gentlemen forming their Special Committee as a
deputation on behalf of this parish to wait upon the Metropoliton Board of Works
in the matter.
