Northam Improvements: Another road improvement about to be carried out by public subscription. It is Edith Cross-lane, an occupation road, which now in a wretched condition, having never been repaired the parish. The distance by the road proposed set order being about cue-eighth of a mile less than by that through the village, the carrying out of the improvement may be regarded as a great convenience to persons proceeding to and from this place as well as to the residents of Northam and Westward Ho! It is to be coated, widened in certain places, and drained, and already Mr. Pynsent, who has taken the matter up, has received several subscriptions and promises of labour. Further assistance is, of course, required, and will doubt be forthcoming.
