Agenda item

Any items of business that the Chairman may decide are urgent.

The Committee received a presentation from Keep Britain Tidy regarding the City Corporation’s Local Environmental Quality Survey results for 2014/15. Members were advised that the survey consisted of 900 sites split across three tranches during the year. NI195-style results were provided for four classifications: litter, detritus, fly-posting, and graffiti. The results within the City of London for each classification were considerably better than both the national and London benchmark.

Members noted the excellent results and suggested that all A-Boards should be surveyed next year to determine obstruction trends. Despite the low number of instances found during the survey, a Member added that he had witnessed a recent increase in fly-posting within his Ward.
