Report of the Interim Executive Director, Environment.

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Interim Executive Director, Environment which updated Members on the project to improve the safety, air quality and pedestrian experience of the area around the Bank junction.

A Member commented that the Lord Mayor’s Show on 11 November 2023 was the time when it was planned that most of the work would be completed, and it had been. He asked Officers to confirm how much of the rubble and hoardings would be removed by 11 November and the Officer stated that work was underway to ensure all the rubble and hoardings would be removed and the area would be swept clean.

A Member asked when the work on Threadneedle Street would begin. An Officer stated that once the street furniture had been put back after the Lord Mayor’s Show, work would start on Threadneedle Street.

The Chairman drew the Sub-Committee’s attention to the aerial photograph in Appendix 5 of the Officer report which showed the increase in the provision of pedestrian space.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
