| Summary |
"An Act to Provide for the Paving, Gravelling, Lighting, and Watching Certain Footways and Carriageways in and near Brompton Square" is a legislative document from the early 19th century. It details the provisions for the improvement of public infrastructure in Brompton Square, located in the parish of Saint Mary Abbotts Kensington, Middlesex. The main focus of the act is to outline how the trustees will oversee the paving and maintenance of footways and carriageways, including the management of a garden and shrubbery in the area, benefiting the local residents and enhancing public safety and aesthetics. The opening of this act introduces the rationale for its establishment, stipulating the jurisdiction and responsibilities of the appointed trustees. Key figures such as William Farlar, who claims ownership of the land, are mentioned in the context of the enactment. The document lays out the processes for the management and maintenance of the infrastructure, the appointment of trustees, as well as penalties for various infractions related to public work activities. This legislative act serves not only as a guideline for improving local infrastructure but also as a historical reference for urban planning and community management in early 19th-century London.
