Agenda item

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment which presented the proposed design for Phase 2 of the Mitre Square project. This would provide an enhanced public space in Mitre Square, additional seating and improved lighting, while retaining vehicle access to the Sir John Cass Foundation Primary School.

In response to a question concerning the water fountains project, and whether any consideration had been given to installing a fountain at this site, the Sub-Committee was advised that funding for ongoing maintenance was an issue although the possibility of incorporating this into the design plan would be explored.

RESOLVED – That the Sub-Committee:

a)     approves the design for Phase 2, as shown in appendix 2 of the report; and

b)     approves the implementation budget for Phase 2 of the works to Mitre Square (£728,998), as set out in section 5 and appendix 3 of this report, fully funded from the Section 106 agreement.
