Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services

The Committee received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services and noted the questions submitted in advance.  (All written questions and their responses are contained in Appendix 1 to these minutes). 

The Chairman asked for nominations, from each House Group, to set up a new Underfloor Heating Working Party.  Members noted that the membership should be a mix of professional/technical expertise and lay persons with an interest in the project.   The Chairman felt that the Sustainability Working Party could also make a valuable contribution and suggested that 1 or 2 of their members should also join.

Members suggested a general appeal via the Barbican Estate Office and Barbican Talk, with a link to the report on this agenda.  It was also suggested that the time commitment be made clear and that the Working Party should represent the different types and sizes of accommodation on the Estate.   Officers advised that the new heating contract would need to be in place by autumn 2014, so the project would be time limited.
