Report of the Town Clerk and the Director of the Built Environment.

The Board received a report of the Town Clerk and the Director of the Built Environment providing an overview of the vision for the transformation of Beech Street.

Members were advised that the report had already been through the Policy & Resources Committee and that two strands were being developed: one in relation to the transportation and public realm changes led by Built Environment and one in relation to the property refurbishment led by the Barbican and the City Surveyors; both would be subject to Member approvals through the project gateway process. The strands would align regarding the potential for street frontages.

Members noted the importance of working with the Barbican’s neighbours and TFL with whom there is support for getting traffic to go in one direction in Beech Street.
