  • The Cubic Property Fund Annual Report 2016
    The Cubic Property Fund Annual Report 2016 1 Cubic Property Fund Chairman’s Statement Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to report to shareholders on 2016 being a successful year for the Cubic Property Fund. Several longer term strategic initiatives have over the last few years proved to have been very positive for the Fund. This is reflected in the performance for the year ended 31 March 2016 with a closing NAV price of 313.3 pence per share, representing a 14.3% increase from the March 2015 closing price of 274.0 pence per share. The total return for the year to shareholders, once the dividend payment of £2,759,000 is added to the closing NAV was 16.3%. The Funds’ performance for 2016 is ahead of all of the major benchmarks including the UK and European IPD. The excellent performance of the Fund is in the main because of the Fund continuing to follow its core strategy of the last year. Value for shareholders was achieved by the ongoing effective management of its property portfolio, the continued lowering of its interest rate payments through refinancing several of its loans and taking advantage of commercial property market conditions both in the UK and in Europe. The 2016 year saw the Fund sell some of its assets posting a strong blended profit of over £4.3m, the largest being the sale of the Viking 4 (Louis Vuitton) asset in Copenhagen at a record low yield. The benefit of this sale was that the remaining holdings in Copenhagen saw continued capital value increases.

  • Central London Bus Services Review RTIR Appendix E
    Central London Bus Services Review Appendix E: Euston Road (routes 59 and 476) April 2019 1. Proposal Route 59 parallels route 91 between King’s Cross and Aldwych. Usage on both routes has decreased and both routes are running with excess capacity. We are therefore proposing to no longer run route 59 between King’s Cross and Euston Bus station. These proposals will improve resilience and reliability on route 59, as well as better matching customer demand. Route 476 runs between Northumberland Park and Euston station. It runs on the same roads as route 73 between Stoke Newington and Euston Station. Both of these routes are currently running with excess capacity. These proposals will improve resilience and reliability of route 476. We are also proposing to reduce frequencies on route 476 from every 8 to every 10 minutes, Monday to Saturday daytimes, to better match demand. Routes 59 and 476 both run between Euston Road between King’s Cross and Euston Bus Station. Route 59 runs between Streatham Hill and King’s Cross, route 476 runs between Euston Station and Northumberland Park. During our review we found that there is excess capacity on the Euston Road between King’s Cross and Euston Bus Station, along which routes 30, 59, 73, 91, 205, 390 and 476 run. Routes 59 and 91 closely parallel each-other between King’s Cross and Aldwych. While routes 73 and 476 parallel each- other between Stoke Newington and Euston Station. We found that at its busiest point at Kennington, route 59 requires a maximum of 10.8 buses per hour to meet demand, 13 are currently scheduled.
