The Assistant Director (Department of the Built Environment) was heard in respect of the Ludgate Hill Crossing Trial.    Members noted that the City had been very successful in obtaining £6Million for next year from TFL.   However, they had not made any budget allocation for Fleet Street Corridor Scheme.  As a result, the City did not have TfL funding for the proposed crossing trial in Ludgate Hill.  The next opportunity for TfL funding would be in the summer of this year, when there might be some TfL bus funding available. The Sub Committee were therefore asked whether they would like to revert to the S.106 funding route for this change.

Subsequent to the meeting, the Assistant Director confirmed that the cost estimates provided for the removal of the trial, should it be unsuccessful. 

RESOLVED – that, the Section 106 funding be used.
