Report of the City Surveyor.

The Board received a report of the City Surveyor on the departmental risk register. The report provided Members with a quarterly update on the management of risks within the City Surveyor’s Department.

Members discussed the issues regarding the allocation of responsibility of the risks regarding the repairs and maintenance of the City Bridges. It was noted that the Bridge House Estates governance review would consider the allocation of these risks and provide clarity on the Committee responsible.

Replying to a query from the Chair it was confirmed that the risks were allocated and confirmed at an Officer Board. The Chair commented that the future increased level of marketing of the City of London Corporation’s Investment Property Group, as proposed by at the Property Investment Board Strategy Session, could help to improve the risk on the recruitment and retention of staff.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
