Low Emission Neighbourhood - Air Quality Greening Proposals

Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection

Minutes:

The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection concerning the LEN proposals for 2018/19 to deliver, in partnership with FCOG and the City Gardens team, two air quality greening projects on City streets or walkways.

 

In response to a question concerning the wider issues at Beech Street, officers advised that the LEN team had been working with the City Gardens team to develop proposals for the installation of planters and green climbing plants and a report in relation to this would be considered by the Port Health Committee.

Members welcomed the proposals and asked if more modelling could be undertaken to identify further locations for greening projects, possibly on an even larger scale. Officers advised that a comprehensive review of all projects was currently being undertaken and would be reported to the Sub-Committee, and it might be possible to combine the projects together.

 

RESOLVED – To approve the proposals for the delivery and installation of green infrastructure at locations that are either on or adjacent to the Public Highway or City Walkway in the LEN area. The two locations are:

 

1)            The columns supporting Barbican High Walk Platform outside 45 Beech Street, also known as Central Point (on or adjacent to the public highway);

 

2)            The footbridge above Aldersgate that connect Barbican station with the Barbican Estate (City Walkway);
