Agenda item

To consider a resolution concerning the Recovery Task Force and the provision of environmental services.

The Committee considered a resolution of the Port Health & Environmental Services Committee.  The Chairman of the Port Health & Environmental Services Committee stressed that the resolution did not seek to challenge the Target Operating Model (TOM) savings but was future-focused in terms of the appropriate services required by the Square Mile post pandemic, and sought a balance of funding which the Recovery Task Force was well placed to address. The Chair of the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee, speaking in support of the Visitor Strategy, stressed the need for street cleaning and public conveniences to be of a high standard. 

RESOLVED, that:-

·         the Policy and Resources Committee ask the Recovery Task Force to include consideration of services, within their remit, to inform the right provision from a strategic perspective, including any reset/rebalancing of funding to meet the City’s future needs.
