Outstanding Actions

Report of the Town Clerk.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report detailing the Outstanding Actions of Port Health and Environmental Services.

 

Noise Pollution

The Port Health and Public Protection Director explained that a letter had been sent from the Chairman of the Committee to TfL; the received response had been circulated to the Barbican Association and this was available to Members upon request. The Port Health and Public Protection Director added that officers were following up with TfL on this matter.

 

Electric Vehicle Charging

The Director of Transportation and Public Realm explained that a charging point was on target to be installed by March/April 2018 at Noble Street. However, there were difficulties with the Baynard House site and officers would meet with TfL representatives to discuss this further. An update would be provided on these discussions at the next meeting.

 

Additional Works Programme

The City Surveyor provided an overview of the Additional Works Programme, explaining that the Programme has a life of three years with the objective of conducting routine cyclical works on areas such as the fabric of the building and general maintenance.

 

Each year the budgets for the Programme are set in September/October and budget estimates are used at this time. Following this, the City Surveyor’s Department liaises with departments to schedule their works and any financial changes within the Programme are a result of revised budgets, and/or works being carried forward or delayed.

 

The Chairman thanked the City Surveyor for this explanation and the Committee agreed that the item should be deleted from the Outstanding Actions report.

 

Mosquitoes

The Port Health and Public Protection Director advised that a survey of the area had taken place, however officers had been unable to ascertain the location of where the mosquitoes were breeding. In response, a Member explained that a survey had taken place with residents which showed that a number of elderly people had been affected by the mosquitoes and it was hoped that their breeding location could be found when the weather becomes warmer.
