Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding the improvements to the pedestrian crossing on Leadenhall Street.

With regard to the deconstruction phase, Members were informed this would be managed to ensure minimal disruption and the appropriate infrastructure would be put in place to create a safe working environment.

RESOLVED – That,

a)    the reasons for the change in programme and funding for the project be noted;  

b)    the project be delivered after the completion of the 52-54 Lime Street Development (estimated late 2017) subject to:

o   funding from other s106 contributions, future Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) or the Parking Reserve Fund (to be agreed at Gateways 4/5); and

o   approval from Transport for London given Leadenhall Street forms part of the Strategic Road Network (SRN). 

c)    the support of WR Berkley for the scheme be acknowledged in addition to their contribution of £70,000 towards inflationary increases and new approvals required by the project resulting from the impact of the 52-54 Lime Street Development.
