Survey Report on Champion Road Repairs
Surveyor I I Brooks told the council that Chem Pion road was nearly impassable for cyclists and patching would be of little use. Resheeting could cost 2240, or a 12 foot track for 950 to 300. Dr Henderson endorsed the report and questioned cyclists from the Workshops crossing the cemetery path. Councilors: not allowed. A north side track was suggested, but Chairman Knowles called it a charge on next year’s rates. De Meseilage’s return prompted a South Ward discussion of the issue.
