Parish of Saint George the Martyr, Southwark.
SURVEYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT.
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 25th MARCH, 1882.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
In submitting my Twelfth Annual Report for your consideration,
I beg respectfully to draw your attention to the improved condition of the
Parish, as to its Roadways and Footways, as compared with five years
ago, without an increase in the rates.
The Carriageway of the Borough High Street, which has been kept in
repair by our workmen during the past three years, will however; require
your consideration as to re-paving at an early date; the Paving is so much
worn, that further repair is a useless expense, and re-paving with new
material has now become necessary; utilizing the old material so taken
up in the side streets, where it is much needed. You will doubtless give
your directions on this subject in due course.
I have also specially to recommend that arrangements should be at
once made to provide a quantity of Old Paying for the repair of Footways
of our side streets. This could most economically be done by repairing
the western side of the Footway, London Road, with new material. This
is a work which cannot much longer be delayed under any circumstances.
The old paving taken up to be used for the repair of the Footways in the
side streets.
