Agenda item

Joint report of the City Surveyor and Director of Environment.

Members considered a Joint report of the City Surveyor and Director of Environment regarding the Walbrook Wharf feasibility study – 2027 & beyond.

The request at this stage was for a discrete amount of funding to be made available for the feasibility study. Subsequent to the completion of these works, further approvals would be sought as per the projects gateway approvals procedure.

It was noted that as a 1960s build, irrespective of the integrated freight proposals, there would be significant ongoing maintenance and repair works needed.

The Chair requested that officers tie in these proposals with the thinking on use of the River for freight more generally, including Markets Consolidation programme.

RESOLVED, that Members approve the fund request of £150,000 to support the initial stage of the Walbrook Wharf feasibility project and allocate to the green list of recommended projects.
