Resolutions of the Annual Wardmotes:-

From the Ward of Aldersgate

(i)     “That the citizens of Tudor Rose Court in Aldersgate are sorely troubled by being bitten by mosquitoes. These creatures are a health hazard, as well as a serious nuisance. They have been identified as Culex Pipiens, and possibly the sub-type Culex Pipiens Molestus, commonly known as the London Underground mosquito. What action is the City of London Corporation taking to determine the sub-type of these mosquitoes, which will help determine the source of these pests, and what action is the City taking to ensure these pests are eliminated?”

Resolved – That the resolution be referred to the Port Health & Environmental Services Committee for consideration and any necessary action.

(ii)    “That this Wardmote requests that the City of London Corporation, as landlords, urgently investigates the original intentions of the City when first developing Tudor Rose Court as Sheltered Housing, and the legal position of the present holders of the Head Lease, Hanover, to ensure that the new tenancy agreements do not contravene such intentions, and to take all possible measures to ensure that tenants do not live in fear of losing their homes due to increase in service charges.”

Resolved – That the resolution be referred to the Community & Children’s Services Committee for consideration and any necessary action.

From the Ward of Aldgate
