§ SIR GEORGE JENKINSONasked the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, If there is any intention of opening out additional means of access to the Thames Embankment from the Strand, for either foot passengers or vehicles, between the points of Charing Cross and Blackfriars Bridge, with a view to relieve the overcrowded traffic of the Strand, and to render the Embankment more useful to the public?
COLONEL HOGG, in reply, said, it was not the intention of the Metropolitan Board of Works to make fresh approaches to the Thames Embankment, as they hoped the new street from Charing Cross, which would soon be made, would tend to relieve the traffic of the Strand, and thereby be of convenience to the public.
