Heritage at Risk Register Update Report PDF 119 KB Report of the City Surveyor Minutes: The Committee received a report of the City Surveyor which provided a list of statutorilyprotected heritage sites which English Heritage regarded ‘most at risk of being lost through neglect, decay or inappropriate development’. The latest edition of the 'Heritage At Risk Register' (HARR) was published in October 2014. Members were informed that the City of London Corporation had 11 heritage assets listed in the 2013 edition of the HARR. One of those assets, a section of the London Wall was removed from the 2014 listing, following repair and renovation works. Additionally, although the condition of Ashtead Park was noted as generally satisfactory, it remained on the register. The City Surveyor informed Members that the purpose of the Wanstead Park Conservation Steering Group was to enable the overall management of the area and a further update on the matter would be provided to the Sub Committee in due course. The City Surveyor explained the circumstances and issues for each asset at risk and set out the plans of action that were implemented to eventually remove them all from the HARR. RESOLVED – That the report be noted.

City Marketing Suite Update Report PDF 112 KB Report of the City Surveyor Minutes: The Committee considered a report of the City Surveyor that related to the City Marketing Suite (CMS) - a corporate property asset within the Guildhall complex that provided meeting and event space for internal and external use.
Members were updated on activity and usage of the CMS which has been below desired levels and sought to identify measures to encourage greater external usage which included working more closely with New London Architecture (NLA), a sister company of Pipers Projects Ltd, and the option to rename it, so as to better resonate with the external market place. The Committee considered and agreed the new name of the CMS would be ‘The City Centre’.
RESOLVED – That, a) the review of the CMS and its performance as an internal and commercial venue be noted;
b) the proposals for future collaboration with New London Architecture to increase awareness and use of the CMS, and promote the City and the City Corporation to a wider audience be noted; and
c) the CMS be renamed as ‘The City Centre’ from the suggested shortlist provided.
