Report of the Town Clerk.

The Sub-Committee received a list of outstanding references.

Swan Lane & Trigg Lane

The City Surveyor advised the Sub-Committee that both projects had been completed, with the Environment Agency due back to sign off Swan Lane during the week.

22 Bishopsgate

The Director of the Built Environment advised the Sub-Committee that following a positive meeting between the developer and the City of London Corporation, amendments had been made to the agreement and was expected to be signed off once drafted.

Dockless Bikes

The Director of the Built Environment updated the Sub-Committee on the implementation of the trial period beginning on 12 June. Operators not in the trial had now been asked to exclude the City of London from their operating areas and would be charged the maximum £235 to recover bikes that had been removed by enforcement officers. A more detailed update would be brought to the next meeting, with quarterly updates going forward.

In response to queries from Members, the Director of the Built Environment confirmed that bikes removed by enforcement officers were taken to Walbrook Wharf, and that the trial was timed to end when a London-wide byelaw on dockless cycle management had been developed but could be extended if this had not materialised. The City of London Corporation was involved in the development of the regulations, which would recognise the TfL code of conduct already in place. The Chairman added that this was the beginning of a complex process of physical change, and with technology changing fast there would be more new regulations for new transport technology to come.

Beech Street

The Director of the Built Environment advised the Sub-Committee that the next Gateway report would be submitted to the July meeting of the Sub-Committee. Work was continuing on the strategic model whilst meetings with Islington continued at Member and officer level.

RESOLVED – That the outstanding references be noted.
