Agenda item

Members considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment on an improvement project within the immediate perimeter and streets in the wider vicinity of the approved Millennium Bridge House development at 2 Lambeth Hill.

Members heard that the area attracts a lot of skateboarders and learned that further skateboarding would not be facilitated - to include installing high seating, which also benefits the elderly.

Members heard that the City of London School would be kept informed of the project.

RESOLVED – That the Streets & Walkways Sub Committee approve the initiation of the project:

·         Approve the budget of £50,000, that forms the legally agreed Section 106, Design and Evaluation Fee Payment for the project to reach the next Gateway;

·         Note the total estimated cost of the project at £150K-300K (excluding risk);

·         Note that at the next reporting stage, any proposed Cost Risk Provision is to be delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of Streets & Walkways sub-Committee and Projects sub-Committee.

·         Authorise officers to negotiate and enter into a Section 278 agreement, in accordance with the requirements of the Section 106 agreement.
