Vote of Thanks
It was proposed by Alderman Roger Gifford, seconded by Jeremy Mayhew and RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY, that -
Members of the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee wish to place on record their sincere appreciation to
VIVIENNE LITTLECHILD
for the enthusiastic, considerate and tenacious manner in which she has chaired their Committee since 2014.
UNDER VIVIENNE’S CHAIRMANSHIP, TOURISM has continued to thrive. In particular, Vivienne’s Chairmanship has overseen the construction of the highly popular glass walkway at Tower Bridge, a new improved gift shop; which benefits the City Bridge Trust and the introduction of a new, highly respected education facility. The City Information Centre has been at the forefront of City tourism; its reputation evidenced by a recent delegation from Japan.
IN ORDER TO COMMEMORATE the Great Fire of London, the Corporation (under Vivienne’s Chairmanship of the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee), sponsored a series of memorable public events during the 350th anniversary weekend in September 2016. Likewise, the much acclaimed ‘Shakespeare Woz Ere’ programme, also in 2016, marked the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. As 2017 is the 950th Anniversary of the “William Charter”, this too will be marked through a series of events led from the London Metropolitan Archives.
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP with the City of London Police, a new Police Museum opened in 2016, as part of the Guildhall Library complex (where the Clockmakers’ Museum used to be), supported by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION has been at the forefront of the work of the Committee and a significant programme of work around the London Metropolitan Archives is under way, as well as enhancements to on-line ticketing and web sites. |
