Agenda item

A question was asked about the circulation of minutes of the meeting, to which the Town Clerk confirmed that the draft minutes of the meeting would be circulated shortly after the meeting to allow for submission to the Barbican Residential Committee meeting of 19 June 2023. The Chair advised that she and the Town Clerk were to meet in the coming days to discuss the scheduling of meetings and coordination between the Barbican Estate Residents Consultation Committee and Barbican Residential Committee more generally.

A question was asked regarding the necessity of maintenance and redecoration works to be undertaken in the coming weeks and the inadequate communication to residents to prepare for these works. In response, officers confirmed that they would be meeting with residents in the coming days to discuss the works but that the coming weeks would see the contractor undertake pre-work surveys rather than the works themselves. It was confirmed that the contractor was aware of a local population of falcons and that their surveys and works would not disturb their habitat.

The Chair confirmed that, as discussed at the last meeting of the committee, the Barbican Estate Residents Consultation Committee nominees to support the procurement for a general repairs contract would be Ted Reilly and Jane Northcote.
