Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding the Section 278 Highway and Public Realm Works at London Wall Place.

The Sub Committee commented on the composition of the London Wall Working Party and suggested including a representative from the City of London Girl’s School and a representative from each of the Wards in which Common Councilmen were not represented.

It was suggested that the survey and information gathering exercise which was required as part of the design process should be undertaken during term times to ensure greater participation.

RESOLVED – That,

a)    the detailed options be developed in line with the project objectives set out in Appendix 1 to the report;

b)    a budget of £388k be set up to reach Gatetway 4; and

c)    authority be delegated to the Director of the Built Environment to adjust the budget between elements (staff costs and fees) as required to meet the challenges of the project and to seek further funds from the developer if necessary.
