Agenda item

Report of the Remembrancer.

Consideration was given to a report of the Remembrancer which informed the Committee of the content and progress of the City of London (Various Powers) Bill and the London Local Authorities and Transport for London (No.2) Bill.

The Remembrancer anticipated there may be opposition to some of the provisions, particularly in relation to enforcement powers.

A brief discussion took place regarding the use of footpaths/walkways by cyclists and how this might be enforced in the future, perhaps by way of issuing fixed penalty notices.

With regards to ‘A’ Boards, Members were advised that similarly to Croydon Council the Corporation was considering contracting out consideration of applications for the use of ‘A’ boards as well as the enforcement of unlicensed use.   A report would therefore be submitted initially to the Port Health and Environmental Services Committee and afterwards to this Sub-Committee for consideration.

A report by the Comptroller and City Solicitor regarding the status of Riverside Walkway would be submitted to the Committee in the near future.
