Report of the City Surveyor.

The Committee received a report of the City Surveyor in relation to the public lifts service.

A Member expressed concern regarding the recent experience of a Barbican resident wheelchair user and asked if those reporting a fault could be given feedback on what was happening and how long the lift was likely to be out of service. The ‘Out of Order’ notice on the lift itself could also be regularly updated.

It was also suggested that if persistent problems occurred with the same lift then perhaps an alternative maintenance company should be considered.

The Committee were supportive of a suggestion from the Deputy Chairman that a site visit be arranged for those Members interested in seeing how some of the public lifts and escalators worked.  

RESOLVED  – That the report be noted.
