IMPROVING LONDON
RECONSTRUCTION SCHEME WORKS ON SOUTH BANK OF THAMES. EXTENSIVE REHOUSING , INVOLVED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, November 12. A scheme which is to provide some remedy for the much-criticised condition of the south bank of the Thames between County Hall and the new Waterloo Bridge will, be recommended on Tuesday to the London County Council. The chief feature of the scheme, which is so designed as not to preclude the construction of a Charing Cross Bridge in the future, are the construction of an embankment wall in continuation of that in front of County Hall to a point some 50 yards below Waterloo Bridge 1 and the provision of an open space 100 feet wide beside the river.
Nearly 2000 people will need to be re-housed at a cost of approximately £300,000. It is estimated that the net expenditure involved is £1,629,000.
