The Committee received the action tracker for the Barbican Estate Residents’ Consultation Committee (RCC) and the Barbican Residential Committee (BRC).

During the discussion the following points were raised:

1.     The Assistant Director, Barbican advised the Committee that the Anti-Social Behaviour Report and Asbestos Report shall be submitted to the RCC in Q2, April 2025. He also noted a correction at point three of the as it should be ‘23/24’ and not ‘22/23’.

2.     The Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) non-consumer blocks were still being assessed and once confirmed then this would be included onto the Action Tracker.

3.     The explanation of the variance of the £575,000 for Repairs and Maintenance in the 23/24 outturn report would also be included in the Action Tracker.

4.     It was confirmed that the Salvage Store was still active, and the Assistant Director advised Members that the BEO was very committed to supporting it

5.     A Member asked for clarification on the difference between The Barbican Estate Office Review and the Transformation Programme Update. It was confirmed that the Transformation Programme Update encompasses all aspects of transformation, including several workstreams outside of staffing. In response to a further question, the Chair also confirmed that she would ask the BRC Chair if the title “Transformation Programme Update” was appropriate.

6.     The Deputy Chair highlighted the discussion at the previous meeting regarding leaseholders receiving invoices for work done on their property and asked if leaseholders would receive copies of invoices. The Committee were advised that work was being undertaken with a new contractor and report on how this would work in practice was expected to be brought to Committee at a later date. The action tracker would be updated to reflect this.
