Agenda item

A report of the Director of the Built Environment was considered regarding the Combined Security Enhancement and Highway works scheme at Cannon Street Station.

The Chairman thanked both Network Rail and London Underground for delivering the project on time.

The Sub Committee noted that the security bollards outside Cannon Street Station had recently prevented a much more serious incident which involved a bus.  Members were informed that the security bollards were the property of Network Rail who was responsible for meeting maintenance costs. 

Reference was made to the detailed finance breakdown on page 18 of the report and Members noted that none of the S106 monies had been returned and that this balance had been retained.   It was noted that remaining S278 monies had already been returned in December 2013, in accordance with the legal agreement with the developer.

With regard to the anti-skid surface at the crossing which was slowly wearing off, Members were informed that a review was being undertaken and an update would be provided to the Sub Committee at a future meeting.

RESOLVED – That,

a)    closure of the project be authorised; and

b)    subject to the completion of the final accounts, any unspent funds be returned to NRIL as per the conditions of the Cannon Street Station S.278 agreement.
