The Committee considered the public minutes and non-public summary of the meeting held on 6 March 2020.

MATTERS ARISING

The Tulip – Appeal (page 3) – The Comptroller and City Solicitor reported that the Appeal had now been deferred to a provisional date in November 2020 as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

New Approach to Address Vehicle Idling (page 11) – A Member reiterated his question as to where the recommendation of an £80 fine for vehicle idling had originated from. Officers responded to state that this was set by London Councils and authorised by the Department for Transport. However, Members were informed that some initial discussions with London Councils had taken place around applying to the Department for Transport to increase the level for idling and bring it in line with other on-street penalty charge notices (£130, reduced to £65 if paid on time). This is something that Officers intended to continue to pursue but, for the time being, the charge would remain at the £80 level.
