Report of the Town Clerk

Members received a report of the Assistant Town Clerk/Culture Mile Director in respect of progress made towards achieving the objectives set out in the Town Clerk’s Department (Cultural Services) Business Plan for 20-17/18.

During the discussion on this report the following points were noted:

•           The Chamberlain had made an allowance for inflation in the latest budget and the Assistant Town Clerk/Culture Mile Director would hold this in reserve to address any unexpected adverse variances arising throughout this financial year.

•           The community engagement programme, working with Artichoke in the Aldgate area, was at outline planning stage and is planned to be a key component of the Women, Work and Power programme of events. 

•           Inviting embassies to contribute to the Tourism Strategy, as discussed in the Members’ Workshop ahead of today’s Committee. 

•           The Chairman asked for a brief report on the cultural aspects of the London Landmarks marathon to be presented to the next Committee.

•           The City Visitor Trail would roll out before the end of the month.

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
