Minutes:

Resolutions of the Annual Wardmotes:-

 

From the Ward of Cripplegate, Within and Without

“That in relation to the proposed redevelopment of the Exhibition space underneath Breton House by the London Film School, this Wardmote requests that the City of London Corporation ensures that residents are provided with an appropriate dedicated place of refuge to which they can retreat at times of severe disruption due to noise and vibration.”

 

Resolved – That the resolution be referred to the Barbican Residential Committee for consideration and any necessary action.

 

From the Ward of Dowgate

“That this Wardmote finds it unacceptable that any residents or businesses in the City should be unable to access fast Broadband connectivity without significant cost and urges the City of London Corporation to work towards the extension of cost efficient Superfast Broadband throughout the City as soon as possible”.

 

Resolved – That the resolution be referred to the Policy and Resources Committee for consideration and any necessary action.

 

From the Ward of Farringdon Within

“It is a matter of considerable concern that, over the past few years, residents of Cloth Fair have been disturbed nearly every night of the week by vehicles- principally black cabs – parking outside their houses for several hours at a time. Disturbance and nuisance are caused by idling engines, doors slamming, conversations between drivers, and coming and going of drivers (to the nearby 24-hour café), and by some people using the alleyways and porches around Cloth Fair as spaces to urinate in. This is a narrow street, with residents’ rooms – including bedrooms- being very close to the carriageway, and undisturbed sleep is impossible in these conditions. The fact that the parking in Cloth Fair is currently governed by single yellow lines, allowing parking between 7pm and 7am, has made

QUESTIONS

Minutes:

Use of the title “City of London”

Patrick Streeter asked a question of the Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee concerning the use of the title “The City of London.”

 

In response, the Chairman reassured Members that both he and other City Corporation spokesmen currently did and would continue to endeavour to make clear whether they were referring to the Square Mile, the Financial Services industry of London and the UK, or indeed the City Corporation itself, depending on the context.

 

Provision of Primary School Places

Deputy Joyce Nash asked a question of the Chairman of the Community & Children’s Services Committee concerning the provision of primary school places in the City.

 

In response, the Chairman advised Members of the work which had been planned to expand the Sir John Cass Primary School. Unfortunately however, the School’s Foundation had recently decided not to allow the expansion of the School on the current site, despite previous indications that they were supportive of the proposals. Clarification was being sought as to the rationale for this decision, with no reason having yet been forthcoming.

 

In response to a question from John Fletcher, who was also a Governor of the School, the Chairman expressed his frustrations and surprise at the Foundation’s decision, echoing Mr Fletcher’s concerns.

 

In response to a question from Mark Boleat, the Chairman agreed that it would be appropriate for his Committee to commission independent advice on this matter and advise on possible ways forwards. He also gratefully noted the offer from the Finance and Policy and Resources Committees to fund this research.

 

European Union

Mark Wheatley asked a question of the Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee concerning polling undertaken around Britain’s membership of the European Union.

 

In response, the Chairman reassured the Member that the polling had been

POLICY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE pdf icon PDF 272 KB

(Mark John Boleat)

11 June 2015

Amendment to Standing Order No.63

The purpose of this report is to propose the amendment of Standing Order 63 regarding Disciplinary Action to comply with the Local Authorities (Standing Orders) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 (the 2015 Regulations).

 

This Standing Order currently sets out the process by which disciplinary action can be taken in respect of the Town Clerk, the City of London Corporation’s Monitoring Officer or the Chamberlain. The 2015 Regulations amend this process such that it now only covers dismissal, rather than any discipline, and no longer requires the relevant authority (the Court of Common Council in this instance) to follow a recommendation of a designated independent person. Investigations into dismissal of one of the three designated officers should therefore be conducted by a disciplinary panel, and a decision agreed by a vote of the Court of Common Council.

 

A separately printed and circulated report is submitted thereon and we recommend you agree the changes to standing orders set out therein.
