Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment seeking approval of a new scheme for St Paul’s Cathedral external lighting which is approaching the end of its 25 year life span.

Concern was expressed that the sponsorship precluded the use of any advertising on the building.

RESOLVED:  That –

·             Option 3 to relight St Paul’s Cathedral with a new LED lighting scheme at an estimated total cost of £,105,000 funded by external sponsorship and £100,000 from the City Finance Contingency Budget;

·             A sponsorship specialist be engaged to support the City and the Cathedral in developing a clear plan to identify sponsorship opportunities and prepare a Sponsorship Package; and

·             This project proceed to Gateway 4 (detailed options appraisal) funded by £25,000 from the £100,000 City Finance Committee Contingency Budget.
