The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk detailing Outstanding Actions.

Goods Lift

Ticketing and Flying System update

 

Protocol in the event of HM Queen's Death

The Chief Operating and Financial Officer agreed to look in to the matter of insuring against this event. It was believed that performances would have to be cancelled upon the Queen's death and this represented a significant risk.

 

London Living Wage (LLW)

Members were concerned that not all catering contracts at the Barbican were covered by the City's recently adopted London Living Wage paper but it was pointed out that remaining contracts were not yet up for renewal and the question of LLW could be addressed at that point.

 

The Chairman requested that Officers provide an update to Members detailing contracts were London Living Wage enabled.

 

Flying System

The Operations and Buildings Director informed Members that works had been completed but there was a software glitch that required fixing before the project was given formal sign off. The Director assured Members that performances would not be affected and undertook to keep Members updated.
