Agenda item

To agree the public minutes and summary of the meeting held on 10 March 2015.

RESOLVED – That the public minutes and non-public summary of the meeting held on 10 March 2015 be approved.

Matters Arising

A Member noted that the length of the 5 May 2015 agenda was far longer than the previous meeting which made it difficult to consider all reports and make an informed decision. He added that the length of the Departmental Business Plans contributed significantly to the size of the agenda so the Town Clerk and Director of Open Spaces would consult with relevant Officers to determine whether next year’s three Departmental Business Plans could be considered at separate meetings.

Prudent Passage

Members were advised that the contact details for Street Environment Officers (SEOs) would be published in Ward newsletters in June 2015.

Public Conveniences

The Assistant Director of Street Scene and Strategy advised that discussions with the City of London Police would be taking place shortly regarding the issue of public urination. In response to a Member’s question, he added that the number of Fixed Penalty Notices issued for this offence could be made available to Members upon request.

Community Toilet Scheme (CTS)

In response to a Member’s question, the Director of Transportation and Public Realm advised that the CTS App had been completed and approved by Apple. He added that assistance on how to download the App could be provided to Members upon request.

Recycling Action Plan

The Director of Transportation and Public Realm advised that all Renew on-street recycling bins had now been removed from the City of London. He also added that a list of recyclable materials had been circulated to all City of London residents with their annual Council Tax Demand Notices.
