Report of the Town Clerk

The Sub Committee received a list of outstanding references.

Dockless Bikes

The Sub Committee noted that a report on e-scooters was due to be considered by the next meeting of the Planning & Transportation Committee. Members recognised that this was a period of heightened sensitivity relating to pavements and pedestrian and amenity space, which may require a different approach to that of dockless bikes. The Sub Committee noted that there was likely to be further reporting on the matter of e-scooters to come.

Beech Street

The Sub Committee noted the update provided by the Director of the Built Environment. The Director of the Built Environment advised Members that a date for commencing active enforcement had not been confirmed, but residents and business would be informed in good time beforehand. A Member advised that there was still some confusion around access to Cromwell Place, and this needed to be clarified before any enforcement started. In response to a question from a Member, the Director of the Built Environment advised that air quality data relating to small particles could be provided following the meeting.

The Director of the Built Environment advised the Sub Committee that communications would be clear on the extended consultation period, and confirmed that London Wall was being monitored following a reported increase in traffic in that area. The Director of the Built Environment also advised that officers continued to meet with their counterparts from Islington with regards to the area, as well as the Old Street/Clerkenwell Road area.

RESOLVED – That the list of outstanding references be noted.
