Report of the City Surveyor

The Sub-Committee received a Report of the City Surveyor concerning the exterior works at the Mansion House.

The Chairman of Finance suggested that it would be appropriate to update the Court of Common Council as the original request to examine these works came via a Member’s question at the January meeting of the Court. The City Surveyor would work with the Town Clerk to ensure Court was kept informed.

A Member queried whether these works can be aligned with Bank junction works and avoid the Lord Mayor’s show? The City Surveyor responded that given the delays in the surveys and the knock-on effects for Committees approvals, any conflicts with the 2018 Lord Mayor’s show would be avoided. The City Surveyor would examine the potential timelines to see if work could take place in conjunction with the Bank Junction work (if the work was made permanent)

Additionally, a Member suggested that the stone cleaning could be tendered with the St Lawrence Jewry stone cleaning. The City Surveyor would examine the opportunity to align both projects.

RESOLVED – that the Sub-Committee notes the Report.
