Report of the City Surveyor.

The Committee received a report of the City Surveyor regarding public lift operations.

A Member commented that this was at least the second time that the Silk Street lift had experienced an extensive outage due to the BT telephone circuit. He questioned whether Officers had looked into making this a wireless connection to overcome this issue. The City Surveyor reported that this was exaclty what Officers were investigating at present.

The City Surveyor confirmed that all other lifts were now back in service with the exception of the London Wall Up escalator which continued to be worked on and would be in service by the end of this week.

A Member referred to the Blackfriars Bridge escalator being out of service at present. The Chair asked that Officers discuss this matter further with the Member offline.
