Agenda item

To note the Committee’s Outstanding Actions list.

The Chairman asked for completed actions to be removed.

The immediate past Chairman had nominated John Fletcher to serve on the Advisory Board for the new Community Centre (20 Little Somerset Street) and the Committee endorsed the appointment.   Mr Fletcher asked for Members support in moving to a position where it could be taken over by a community organisation.   Mr Fletcher also stressed the importance of appointing a Centre Manager as soon as possible, as there had been preliminary enquiries about bookings, and the construction was likely to complete ahead of any appointments being made. 

Covid-19 update

The Deputy Director of Public Health provided a brief update on the significant changes and progress in testing, and thanked the City of London Corporation for the successful  provision of Guildhall Yard as a PCR testing site.  The  Committee noted that, before the end of May,  65A Basinghall Street would be the new site for PCR testing.   Lateral Flow testing would also relocate from Leadenhall to 65A Basinghall, for one month, before moving to a new site in the Guildhall complex. 

Approximately 400 City workplaces had signed up for testing and the Public Health Team were actively encouraging twice a week testing for those returning to the City.  All community pharmacies in the City were now offering lateral flow testing kits.
