To note the Planning and Transportation Committee’s response to resolution from the Open Spaces and City Gardens Committee.

Members received the response from the Planning and Transportation Committee to the resolution from the Open Spaces and City Gardens Committee on the Finsbury Circus.

A Member highlighted the continued delay to the delivery of Crossrail and request further information on Finsbury Circus. Replying to this point the Deputy Chairman explained the matter had been deferred to the Streets and Walkways Sub-Committee where Members had the view that the closure of the highway represented good sense and would advance the issue. The Director of Open Spaces added that the City of London Corporation’s highways team had investigated the issue further on an officer level. The Chairman commented that it would be helpful for progress on this project to be provided at future meetings.

RESOLVED- That the response from the Planning and Transportation Committee be noted.
