3. FURTHER NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that Lambeth Borough Council propose to:-

(A) construct the type of road humps known as “sinusoidal road humps” in (a) Glasshouse Walk (i) approximately 10.4 metres east of the north-eastern kerb-line of Vauxhall Walk; and (ii) approximately 14.5 metres south-west of the south-western kerb-line of Vauxhall Walk; (b) Jonathan Street, approximately 11 metres east of the eastern kerb-line of Vauxhall Walk; (c) Vauxhall Walk (i) approximately 9.8 metres south-west of the southern kerb-line of Salmanca Street; (ii) approximately 22.8 metres north-east of Randall Row; (iii) approximately 23 metres south-west of Randall Row; (iv) approximately 10.1 metres south-west of Jonathan Street; (v) approximately 9.5 metres north of Tinworth Street; (vi) approximately 20.5 metres south of Tinworth Street; (vii) outside Nos. 1 to 10 Cromwell House, Vauxhall Walk.
