Agenda item

Chairman to be heard

The Chairman was heard in respect of the above report, which had been scheduled for today’s meeting but subsequently deferred.

The Committee were advised that, following correspondence from the Barbican Association (BA) and the Barbican Residents Consultation Committee (RCC), the Chairman had agreed to defer this item to December.  The BA and RCC had asked for more time to consider the technical points raised during the meeting with the concrete specialists.  The Chairman asked for the Committee’s approval to defer the report, on the express understanding that there would be no further delays past December 2013; given that the Ward Mote had raised this question prior to the elections.

The Chairman and Director of Community and Children’s Services gave an assurance that all relevant information, regardless of its history, would be shared with the BA and RCC.

RESOLVED – that:

1.     The Barbican Residential Committee defers taking a decision on the treatment of the concrete repair charges to the December meeting of the Barbican Residential Committee.

2.     There be no further delay in taking the above decision, past December 2013.
