Report of the Director of Open Spaces.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Open Spaces that sought approval to the installation of equipment that enabled hot water created as part of the mercury abatement process to be used to heat the crematorium service chapels during the winter.

In response to a Member’s question regarding potential public relations difficulties, the Superintendent of the Cemetery and Crematorium advised that this had been discussed with the Public Relations Office but it was not seen as a risk because the heat recovery method was being used by many other crematoriums across the UK.

RESOLVED – That the installation of waste heat recovery equipment at the City of London Crematorium in order to use waste heat from the mercury abatement process to heat the service chapels, be approved.
