Report of the Assistant Town Clerk and Cultural Hub Director.

The Committee considered a report of the Assistant Town Clerk and Cultural Hub Director concerning the Illuminated River, a new public art initiative for central London bridges.

Members received a presentation on the project. It was noted that the proposals covered the illumination of 17 bridges in central London; a significant sum of funding for the project had been raised already; that officers were aware of the need for the City Corporation to maintain control over proposals for its bridges and that further reports would be submitted to the Committee on activities as the initiative progressed.

During discussion it was also noted that a part from a sum of £500,000 from Bridge House Estates, which had been approved as a contribution towards upgrading the lighting on London Bridge, no further City Corporation funds had been committed.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
