Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Committee received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services which updated Members on the latest position with the City of London Corporation’s (the Corporation) Beech Gardens (North West Podium) Waterproofing Project, the subsequent issues that have arisen and the outcome of the steps taken to facilitate completion of the project.

Members noted that the Assistant Director had inherited this project six years ago, together with the issues set out in the report.    The report set out lessons learnt, particularly in respect of the drainage which will apply in Phase 2 of the Project, which is about to start.  Members noted that they would receive the close-down (Gateway 6) report at the September 2022 meeting, as there were no further legal grounds on which to withhold payments to the Contractor

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
