Agenda item

The Committee considered an urgent matter relative to an incident at Smithfield Market on 15 August 2020 in which a canopy collapsed. Members were concerned that the Committee had not been directly informed of the incident. The Director of Markets & Consumer Protection and the City Surveyor informed the Committee of steps taken since the incident to ensure the structure was safe and noted plans to reopen East Poultry Avenue once safety works were completed. The Committee agreed that the Chairman would write to the Town Clerk expressing concern regarding the communication from Chief Officers to the Committee.
