Matters Arising

Bank on Safety Timings – It was confirmed that the timings for restricted access through Bank Junction, which had been implemented as part of the Bank on Safety Scheme, were intentionally different to those of the Congestion Charge. The timings had been selected following analysis which demonstrated that they corresponded with the period during which 75% of collisions were occuring at the Junction.

London Living Wage (LLW) – The Chamberlain clarified that the immediate application of the LLW increases agreed would mean that any associated costs would need to be met from departments’ local risk budgets. Members noted this and confirmed that the intention was for the payment and backdating to apply from this year, whilst also recognising that any departmental overspends which could arise as a result of this particular measure would be accepted.

Chief Commoner – A Member, also the Deputy Chairman of the Livery Committee, advised that the Livery Committee would seek to raise awareness of the role of Chief Commoner amongst the Livery through its forthcoming issue of the Livery Briefing newsletter.
