Agenda item

The Superintendents to be heard.

New Spitalfields

The Operations Administration Manager updated Members in the absence of the Superintendent.

She reported that specification for CCTV for the site was now with Procurement and would go out to competition in the usual way. A report would be put to Committee to formally update them on the outcome of this in due course.

Smithfield

The Operations & Administration Manager updated Members in the absence of the Superintendent.

Members were informed that the Market had recently undergone a Food Standards Agency Audit and just been informed that they had received the highest possible outcome. The next audit was not now due for another two years.

The Chairman, on behalf of the Committee, wished to record his congratulations to all involved in securing this result.

Billingsgate

The Superintendent reported that the Chairman had written to the London Fish Merchants Association regarding the apparent defects to their cold store. No further communication had been received on this matter to date and it was reported that the matter was therefore likely to be closed.

Members were also informed that the Market had secured a 75% EU grant for the acquisition of a forklift truck.
