New Roads. —Upon the application of a large
number of the owners and occupiers, the Vestry
agreed to make up and pave the following streets,
upon the condition that the estimated cost was
deposited with the Vestry before the work was
commenced, viz. :—
Muswell Road, between Colney Hatch Lane
and Middleton Road.
Alexandra Park Road, between Colney Hatch
Lane and east side of Muswell Avenue.
Muswell Avenue, north and south portions.
Clerkenwell Road Paving.—The Works Committee
having decided to recommend the Vestry to
re-pave the south side of this carriageway with
Aberdeen granite, a deputation waited upon the
Committee urging that wood paving be laid instead
of granite, This, the Committee were unable to
agree to unless the Tramway Company were willing
to pave their portion of the carriageway with similar
material. A large amount of correspondence took
place between the Vestry, the Tramway Company
and the London County Council, and every effort
was made to induce the Tramway Company to lay
down wood. The Company, however, refused to
do so, stating that their paving was in good condition,
and would last for several years. Under
the circumstances it was therefore eventually decided
to carry out the original proposal of the
Committee.
