Agenda item

Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

Consideration was given to a report of the Director of the Built Environment which allowed Members the opportunity to comment on the proposal and consider the appropriateness of the RideLondon event taking into account the nature, scale and impact on the City streets.

Members were informed that between now and August 2013, officers would be working on the detail of the plan for the events, with the Sunday set to be the larger of the two, however an interim report would be brought to the Committee in February 2013.

In response to a question, Officers agreed to liaise with the organisers to ensure that adequate public toilet facilities were available for event participants.  Officers also agreed to communicate the events to cruise ships docking on the same day, as well as licensed establishments.

RESOLVED – That the RideLondon event on 3^rd and 4^th August 2013 be supported, and Officers in the Highways Division be requested to work closely with TfL and the event organisers on the proposed routes through the City.
