Town Clerk reports that previous application of the company failed; this is a much restricted one, dealing with two lines only: (1) from St Peter's Square along Carrington Street to the east end of Station St. (2) from the junction of Station Street and Carrington Street along Arkwright Street to the Union Inn on London Road.
