Report of the Executive Director, Community and Children’s Services.

The Committee received a report of the Executive Director of Community & Children’s Services updating Members on the recent work of the Major Works Programme Board.

During discussion, Members asked if officers knew the total cost of the Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and emphasised the importance of understanding the scale of capital required to bring the Barbican up to standard as soon as possible. Officers responded that the cost of PPM was not included in this report, but once the capital expenditure plan was finalised in 2026 it would show the total cost of PPM broken down by block. 

A Member raised concerns about the poor drainage on the high walks and asked for an update on the status of this work. Officers responded that an update on this work was not included in this report as it is not managed through this Committee, however an update would be provided at the next meeting. 

RESOLVED – that the report was received, and its contents be noted.
