Report of the Town Clerk.

Ludgate Circus

The Transportation and Public Realm Director provided an update in relation to the fatality at Ludgate Circus.  Various actions had been taken to mitigate the risk of further accidents including strengthening the 20mph signage.  Officers were liaising with Transport for London to reinforce and address safety needs.  Members were informed by the City of London Police that as the incident was still under investigation; no further details could be released.

Cycle Superhighway

Members were informed that the results of the public consultation would be published by Transport for London on 27 January 2015 with a view to a decision being made regarding construction on 4 February 2015.  It was agreed that it would be beneficial to provide an update to the Sub Committee on 23 February 2015 and afterwards to all Members of Court in March 2015 via a briefing session.

Parking for Motorcycles

Members were informed that a policy document was being drafted regarding the framework for charging, provision of more parking bays and theft of motorcycles.  Particular reference was made to on-street parking for motorcycles on Swan Lane and whether this was an appropriate area.  The alternative was to move the parking bays to Lawrence Hill; however, this would be confirmed at a later date once the use of space had been investigated further.

20mph Speed Limit

Members were informed that since October there had been 100 Traffic Offence Reports, 114 Enforcement Fixed Penalty Notices and 25 summonses to court.  Future reports of this kind would include details of any prosecutions.
