Agenda item

26 November 2013

Your Committee seeks approval for the adoption of the revised West Smithfield Area Enhancement Strategy to progress the delivery of public realm improvement and a separately printed report has been submitted thereon.

The Strategy will -

a)     provide improvements to the public realm in the West Smithfield Area to benefit the increasing number of pedestrians using the streets and new developments including Crossrail;

b)     provide an improved, accessible and functional pedestrian environment that would support the projected increased pedestrian footfall, whilst supporting the activity of Smithfield meat market and the continuing operation of St Bart’s Hospital; and

c)     identify current issues and future demands and set out a framework for addressing these within the context of existing policies and guidance.

In addition, the Strategy sets out a delivery plan which identifies projects arising from the Strategy, it prioritises them and indicates the funding strategy for delivery and we recommend its adoption.
