Cyclical Works Programme Bid - 2021/22

Report of the City Surveyor.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the City Surveyor which explained the provisional list of cyclical projects being considered for properties under the management of Epping Forest and Commons Committee in the “cyclical works programme”.

 

Replying to a Member’s query the Director of Open Spaces confirmed that the Epping Forest Consultative Committee had received the report and their comments had been noted accordingly.

 

A Member commented on the budget underspend and highlighted the large number of works which were awaiting approval to progress. The Director of Open Spaces explained that the primary challenge in resolving this would be the capacity to complete these works and noted the importance of prioritisation in this process. It was noted that the Corporate Asset Sub-Committee Chairman would be exploring options for increased funding for the cyclical works programme. The Deputy Chairman suggested that the Chairman send a note to the Corporate Asset Sub-Committee Chairman explaining the Committee’s view that increased expenditure on the Epping Forest and Commons Committee cyclical works programme should be considered. The Chairman agreed and commented that this should be considered across all the City of London Corporation managed open spaces.

 

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
