Joint report of the Town Clerk and Commissioner.

Members received a joint report of the Town Clerk and Commissioner which set out Outstanding References from previous meetings of the Board.

The Metropolitan Police Service lead for the long Covid programme had been supportive of the City of London Police (COLP) participating. However, the wider membership was more reluctant. As a result, COLP were looking into whether there was sufficient internal demand. Members suggested that the Force ensure they liaise with the City Corporation.

Cluster panels were due to commence in January 2022 but there needed to be further consultation between the Chair and COLP regarding Member involvement and also wider advertising for the positions.

Work on the custody suite was ongoing with general facilities upgrades and maintenance. There had been a planned closure of the CCTV provision to implement part one of the solution and a further closure would be expected in the coming month for the delivery of phase two. The Independent Custody Visitors Panel would be informed of this closure and of the plans to utilise the Brewery Street facilities of the British Transport Police.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
