Agenda item

To receive the draft minutes of the Keats House Consultative Committee on 15^th May 2018.

The public minutes of the Keats House Consultative Committee held on 15 May 2018 were received.

Matters arising

The Principal Curator advised that the premises license application was progressing and would be concluded during the Summer 2018.  Members noted the arrangements in hand for ‘Keats 200’, which would be progressed between September and December 2018.

In response to a query about installing a defibrillator at Keats House, the Director advised that staff at the House, many of whom were volunteers, were not obligated to undergo training to use them.  However, Members also noted that more sophisticated versions were available, which required no training and were designed to be used during calls to the emergency service.  The Chairman suggested that, if such a device was installed at Keats House, it would be a useful pilot for further installations across the City of London Corporation.

RESOLVED, that - the Director of Open Spaces arrange, as soon as practicable, for the acquisition and installation of a defibrillator at Keats House, of a kind that gives its user instructions on how to operate it, and to confirm the installation to the next meeting of the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee.
