1309 Highways and Cleansing 1309 HIGHWAYS AND CLEANSING REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. To be presented to a Meeting of the Council to be held on 10th March, 1961. ————— HIGHWAYS AND CLEANSING 8* February, 1961. COMMITTEE: Present: His Worship the Mayor (Alderman Sheldrake, J.P.); Councillor Rees (in the Chair); Aldermen Bailey, J.P., and Gange, J.P.; Councillors Atherton, Barber, Barson, J.P., Mrs. Davies, Glanville, Harkett, Hill, Mines, Mote, O'Loughlin, C.C., and Tackley. PART I.—RECOMMENDATIONS. RECOMMENDATION I: Replanning Central Harrow: " Ring " Road Pro­ posals. Your Committee are advised that the Borough Council's proposals for re- planning Central Harrow are being recommended, to the extent referred to below, by the Central Middlesex Area Planning Committee to the County Planning Committee, namely, (1) That the County Council, as Local Planning Authority, approve, in principle, the declaration as a Comprehensive Development Area of the area of land bounded by: — on the west—by part of Headstone Road, between Amersham Road and Kymberley Road, on the north—Amersham Road, a line to the south of the flats in Byron Road, Byron Road itself and the southern boundary of the Methodist church, on the east—by the rear boundaries of Nos. 23/43 (inclusive) Angel Road, Greenhill Road and Havelock Place, on the south—by College Road (excluding the Abbey National Building Society building and the Heathfield School for Girls) and the rear boundaries of Nos. 1-19 (inclusive), Kymberley Road; and (2) that Roxborough Road and Hindes Road be shown as principal traffic roads in the County Development Plan at the Quinquennial Review in 1963. Your Committee feel, however, that it is vital, to ensure realisation of the Council's ultimate proposals, that those areas inside the boundaries of the pro­ posed Comprehensive Development Area required for public car parks, new highways or highway improvement, should be designated for compulsory acquisition, and recommend accordingly. It will be appreciated that those affected will have the right to object and be heard by the Minister's Inspector. It is emphasised that, if the areas proposed are so designated, the Council would be responsible for rehousing displaced tenants, and owners would be properly compensated. The interests of all persons affected should thus be safeguarded to the fullest extent of the law. The recommendation of the Central Middlesex Area Planning Committee, that Roxborough Road and Hindes Road be shown as principal traffic roads in the County Development Plan at the Quinquennial Review in 1963, implies that the " Ring " Road part of the Council's proposals would be dealt with separately from the Comprehensive Development Area. Your Committee, however, adhere to the view that the " Ring " Road proposals should proceed immediately (and, if necessary, irrespective of the Central Harrow Redevelop­ ment proposals), and for this reason, recommend that the " Ring " Road pro­ posals should go forward at the same time as the proposals for defining the Comprehensive Development Area. HIGHWAYS AND CLEANSING 1310 Resolved to RECOMMEND: That the Council hereby agree (a) to recommend to the Middlesex County Council, as Local Planning Authority, that those areas inside the boundaries of the proposed Comprehensive Development Area required for public car parks, new highways or highway improvement, be designated for compulsory acquisition; and (b) to urge the County Council that, in view of the Borough Council's desire to proceed with their " Ring" Road proposals now, an appropriate amendment be made forthwith in the County Development Plan, so as to provide that Roxborough Road and Hindes Road shall be shown therein as principal traffic roads, all as referred to in the report of the Highways and Cleansing Committee of 8th February, 1961; and that the Town Clerk be authorised to give effect to this resolution. (Note: Councillor O'Loughlin, C.C., voted against that part of the above recommendation urging the Middlesex County Council to make an appropriate amendment in the County Development Plan to enable the Borough Council to proceed with their " Ring " Road proposals now.} RECOMMENDATION II: Proposed Improvement of Headstone Lane, from Railway Station to Pinner Road, Headstone Ward. The Minister of Transport has approved the principle of these improvement works and your Committee have now considered tenders, received in response to public advertisement, for carrying out the work, and recommend acceptance of the lowest received. To the amount of the recommended tender should be added £900 for the salary of a Clerk of Works. Provision for the expenditure has been made in your Committee's Capital Estimates for 1961/62, the method of meeting the expenditure being a matter for the Finance Committee. Your Committee add that, although in 1957 a provisional figure of £21,500 was estimated for the work, when the detailed scheme was recently prepared, an examination of the concrete carriageway revealed defects in many places, necessitating complete reconstruction of approximately 60%. Resolved to RECOMMEND: That the Council hereby (a) accept the fixed price tender of A. H. Nicholls & Sons, Ltd., of Bridge Road, Wood Green, N.22, amounting to £64,734 12s. 8d. (being the lowest received), for the improvements at Head­ stone Lane, from the railway station to Pinner Road; and (b) approve the additional expenditure, amounting to £900, for the salary of a Clerk of Works, as detailed in the report of the Highways and Cleansing Committee of 8th February, 1961; and that the Town Clerk be authorised to prepare and seal a Contract accordingly. (Note: The Finance Committee recommend that this expenditure be met by loan.} RECOMMENDATION III: Financial Year, 1960/61: Overspending: Supple­ mentary Estimates. In connection with consideration of their revised Revenue Estimates for 1960/61, your Committee have been informed that supplementary estimates are necessary in respect of the items detailed hereunder, and submit the follow­ ing recommendation. Resolved to RECOMMEND: That the Council hereby approve supplementary estimates in respect of overspendings on the following items in the Estimates of the Highways and Cleansing Committee for the Financial Year, 1960/61: — 1311 HIGHWAYS AND CLEANSING Particulars Supplementary Estimate Required Refuse Collection: £ & Wages, Superannuation and National Insurance ... ... ... 875 Sale of Paper, Scrap Iron, etc. Cr. 2,000 Borough of Uxbridge—Tipping 405 RECOMMENDATION IV: Annual Contracts, 1961/62. Your Committee have considered, and are in agreement with, recommenda­ tion 7 of the report (23rd January, 1961) of their Highways and Cleansing (General) Sub-Committee (set out in appendix I to this report), as to the acceptance of tenders for the supply and delivery of materials, and for the execution of works, for the year ending 31st March, 1962, and submit the following recommendation. Resolved to RECOMMEND: That, pursuant, where necessary, to Standing Order 31 (7) in regard to acceptance of other than the lowest tender, the Council hereby accept the tenders (which include those other than the lowest) for the supply and delivery of materials, and for carrying out the works stated, for the year ending 31st March, 1962, all as detailed in the report of the Highways and Cleansing (General) Sub-Committee of 23rd January, 1961, all tenders being subject to the conditions in the General Conditions of Contract and Specifica­ tion; and that the Town Clerk be authorised to prepare and seal contracts and all other documents. RECOMMENDATION V: Improvements to District Roads. Your Committee have considered, and are in agreement with, recommenda­ tion 8 of the report (23rd January, 1961) of their Highways and Cleansing (General) Sub-Committee (set out in appendix T to this report), as to improve­ ment works in Barrow Point Avenue, Pinner. The following recommendation is submitted, pursuant to Financial Regulation 14. Resolved to RECOMMEND: That the Council hereby agree to carry out, under their annual contracts and/or by direct labour, improvement work in Barrow Point Avenue, Pinner, at an estimated cost of £1,073, as detailed in the report of the Highways and Cleansing (General) Sub-Committee of 23rd January, 1961. PART H.—MINUTES. 2862. Minutes: RESOLVED: That the minutes of the meeting of the Com­ mittee held on 21st December, 1960, having been circulated, be taken as read and signed as a true record. 2863. Reports of the Town Clerk: RESOLVED : That the Committee receive the Town Clerk's written reports (3rd and 8th February, 1961). 2864. Public Convenience at Rayners Lane, Roxbourne Ward: Proximity to Rayners Lane Special School: The Town Clerk submitted letter (24th January, 1961) from the Harrow Society for Mentally Handicapped Children, calling attention to the great concern of many parents of mentally handi- HIGHWAYS AND CLEANSING 1312 capped children attending the Rayners Lane Special School, as to the hygiene and health of the children once the Public Convenience, now in the conclud­ ing stages of construction, is opened for public use, and making the point that the new Convenience is 8 feet from the main classroom windows of the school. Further, that representations had already been made by the Society to Middlesex County Council to expedite the removal of this school to a more suitable place, but from a letter received from the Chairman of the County Council (which the Town Clerk submitted) it would seem that some months must elapse before this could be done. In the meantime, the Society appealed to the Borough Council (a) to defer the opening of the new Convenience until the school has been moved from the adjacent site, and (b) to take any and every possible action to expedite the removal of the school as planned by the County Council. The Town Clerk also submitted letter (2nd January, 1961) addressed by a parent of a pupil at the special school to his Worship the Mayor, calling attention to the proximity of the Public Convenience to the school and suggesting that the Convenience be not opened until a new school is built for these children.

'\Q Memorandum for the Cabinet hy the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport. 1. As the Cabinet is aware the question of the increasing congestion of London traffic has assumed an urgent aspect and. the Government is being pressed by all parties in the House of Commons and by the Press to find some solution to the problem. 2. The subject has received consideration from a number of Commissions and Committees during the past IS years. The Royal Commission on London Traffic, 1905, the Select Committee on Motor Traffic, 1913, and the Select. Committee on Transport (Metropolitan Area), 1919, in their reports all advocated the setting up of a London Traffic Authority. Finally in 1920 the Departmental Committee on London Traffic under the Chairmanship of the late Mr. Kennedy-Jones, appointed by the then Minister of Transport, recommended, the creation of an executive authority as a permanent statutory body under the Minister of Transport with power to deal ""ith all matters connected with London Traffic. The objections to this proposal were that it would, place a considerable charge on the Exchequer for what may be regarded as a local service, and. would remove from the control of the local authorities an important section, of the work which is included in the term "local government services". For these reasons and also in view of the general financial situation, it was decided, not 'to.

  • The Southern Railway's Response to Bus Competition, 1923-39
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by White Rose E-theses Online Public passenger transport in inter-war Britain: the Southern Railway’s response to bus competition, 1923-39 REGINALD ARTHUR MURRAY DAVIES Doctor of Philosophy University of York Railway Studies SEPTEMBER 2014 Abstract Abstract Scholarly criticisms of the quality of British railway management between the world wars have focused partly on the allegedly inept reaction to the threat of bus competition. By contrast this thesis shows that the Southern Railway (SR) developed policies and practices with regard to the bus industry that were rational and broadly successful given the legal, political and economic circumstances. The SR was probably atypical of the four major inter-war railways. Because of the social and economic geography of the areas it served, it suffered less from bus competition and a smaller decline in receipts from passenger trains. Nevertheless in common with the rest of the industry, management action was greatly hampered in the 1920s by political opposition to direct bus operation. A key finding is that legislation in 1928 had the unintended effect of determining that the railways instead entered into partnerships with bus companies. In the SR’s case this policy produced considerably greater returns on capital than historians have hitherto thought. The SR influenced rather than controlled its associated bus companies, allowing them considerable commercial freedom. Even so the SR was largely able to shape network development to its advantage and to introduce measures, such as through ticketing, that were seen by contemporaries as key elements in reducing public-transport competition and thus enhancing consumer benefits.
