Agenda item

The Chair reiterated the stipulation that questions will ordinarily be considered only where they are submitted 48 hours before the meeting in order to arrive at better-informed responses. 

A Member asked whether the Golden Lane recycling facilities are being properly advertised to all City users, and asked whether more recycling facilities might be available in other City locations. The meeting heard that the matter would be investigated and a response circulated.

A Member commented that noise nuisance in the South Bank area affecting the Queenhithe area did not appear to be properly monitored, particularly in respect of unlicensed busking and inappropriate amplification. The meeting noted that the Corporation has been liaising with the Borough of Southwark and Better Bankside to properly manage the busking issue (including better signage), noting the rising levels of complaints. The meeting noted that resource issues and staff changes are affecting Southwark’s capacity to respond and act in a timely and appropriate fashion, and that further liaison is expected to improve the situation.
