Minutes Resolved – That the Minutes of the last Court are correctly recorded.
Overseas The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor reported on his recent visit to South Africa. Visits
Kenneth Resolved unanimously – Upon the retirement from the Court of Aldermen of Sir Edwin David Brewer, C.M.G., Her Majesty‟s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London, the Ayers, M.B.E., Members of this Honourable Court wish to take the opportunity of recording their most Deputy sincere thanks for the dedicated service that he has given to this City for the past Fraser, W.B., eighteen years. O.B.E., Deputy Elected as a Common Councilman for the Ward of Bassishaw in 1992, four years later, Sir David was elected to represent his Ward as Alderman, a role which he has fulfilled superbly. The qualities we associate with Sir David, of energy, enthusiasm and, most important of all, unfailing good humour came to the fore during his year as Sheriff in 2002 and as the City‟s 678th Lord Mayor in 2005, roles which he carried out with great distinction.
We shall miss his friendship and wise counsel in this Court and, above all, his puns – but we shall keep in touch over the years ahead, years in which we wish Sir David and Lady Brewer a very happy retirement from their memorable civic life.

Grand Court of “That a fully coordinated approach must be adopted with regard to the proposed Wardmote (a) From the Ward of Broad Street refurbishment of Throgmorton Street bearing in mind the experience all have suffered as local occupiers in the Ward of road, pavement and building works in the area over the last 3-5 years during which Throgmorton Street has been dug up, re- laid and then renovated by different agencies many times and, in particular, the cobbles originally to enhance the street scene have been painstakingly replaced on most occasions at no doubt a large cost but what we have now as a result are areas of tarmac, significant dips in the level surface and a general failure of road and pavement surfaces.”
Resolved – That the resolution be referred to the Planning and Transportation Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
From the Ward of Castle Baynard
“This Ward meeting unanimously opposes the Ward boundary proposals for the Ward of Castle Baynard as set out in the stage two consultation documents, which (b) disregard the historical origins of the Ward and would seriously and adversely affect it.”
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Policy and Resources Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
From the Ward of Cheap

Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Policy and Resources Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
From the Ward of Farringdon Within
(d) “That no alteration to re-site or change the Coach Parking bays at St Paul‟s Cathedral shall be effected until there has been a proper measurement of Traffic movements and pollution carried out and any security issues fully examined. Following this, if any alterations are to be made, they should be for a trial period of at least six months to enable the consequences to be evaluated fully. If the result of the evaluation is not satisfactory an alternative plan should then be considered and implemented.”
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Planning and Transportation Committee for consideration and any necessary action. 91 8th April, 2010
(e) “That a comprehensive review of the footfall and traffic movements in Ludgate Hill be undertaken, including the effectiveness of the uncontrolled pedestrian crossing near to St Paul‟s Cathedral, all of which presently contribute to the unacceptable delays and traffic congestion between Ludgate Circus, New Change and Mansion House.”
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Planning and Transportation Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
From the Ward of Farringdon Without “That, recognising it is the intention of the Barts & The London NHS Trust to relocate its cardiac facility from the London Chest Hospital to the St Bartholomew‟s Hospital site in a new building, which will, when combined with the existing internationally renowned services in the Bart‟s Queen Elizabeth II Wing, create a state-of-the-art centre of excellence for the treatment of heart disease; this Wardmote asks the City of London Corporation to seek an assurance from NHS London, the relevant Primary Care Trusts and the Bart‟s & The London NHS Trust that the current emergency Heart Attack Centre situated at the London Chest Hospital will also be transferred to Bart‟s to be alongside the expert staff and other resources.”
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Community and Children‟s Services Committee for consideration and any necessary action. (f) “That this Wardmote calls upon the City of London Corporation, as freeholder in each case, to ensure that the Central Criminal Court, the Mayor‟s & City of London Court and the City of London Magistrates‟ Court buildings are maintained to the highest possible standards, recognising the importance of all three Courts not only to the public but also to the legal profession in this Ward. ”
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the City Lands and Bridge House Estates Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
(h) “That this Wardmote calls upon the City of London Corporation to maintain the historic connection between St Bartholomew‟s Hospital and this Ward of Farringdon Without, which has long campaigned on behalf of the Hospital and its facilities, and requests that the Ward Boundary Review Panel continues to keep the main Hospital site in (g) the Ward. ”
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Policy and Resources Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
“That, in line with Government policy to support small and medium sized enterprises, this Wardmote calls upon the City of London Corporation to do all in its power to support (i) the tenants and workforce of Smithfield Market in this time of economic uncertainty. ”
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Markets Committee for consideration and any necessary action. 8th April, 2010 92
From the Ward of Portsoken
That there should be a minimum of four Common Councilmen representing the (j) Ward of Portsoken to the Court of Common Council to reflect the particular exceptionally higher workload on elected Members servicing the needs of the Ward; and, that the City Corporation should undertake a needs survey for the Ward of Portsoken based on an accurate analysis of the demographics of the Ward rather than rely on an extrapolation of data which is over eight years old.
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Policy and Resources Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
(k) That the Portsoken Health and Community Centre was not working as either a health centre nor much of a community centre. We welcome the building of the facility but urge the City of London to finish the job by: 1. continuing to pursue much needed health provision with the relevant PCTs; 2. deploying resource and involving residents to turn the rest of the centre into a truly resident-led and resident focused community centre.
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Community and Children‟s Services Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
That the Community & Children‟s Services Department be thanked for the services given by the Resident Estate Officer and his staff on the Middlesex Street Estate.
(l) Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Community and Children‟s Services Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
That the plans for a public square connecting the church of St. Botolph-without- Aldgate to the Sir John Cass‟s Foundation Primary School and associated traffic calming measures be brought forward for the safety, enjoyment and recreation of the public (m) and the enhancement of the east of the City.
Resolved - That the resolution be referred to the Planning and Transportation Committee for consideration and any necessary action.
(n) That the Planning & Transportation Committee be asked to ensure that any new development proposals for International House, 1 Mitre Square (adjacent to the Sir John Cass‟s Foundation Primary School) respect the operational needs of the School and the safety of the schoolchildren and staff both during demolition and construction and the ongoing operation of the building(s).

a) Deputy Stanley Ginsburg asked Deputy Ken Ayers, for Chairman of the
Questions Community and Children‟s Services Committee, about the faulty exit gate at Middlesex Street Car Park. 145 8th April, 2010
In response, Deputy Ayers reported that, on this occasion, the exit gate had been broken for two months but had been damaged a number of times previously. This had been caused largely by commercial vehicles driving through the gate before the barriers had cleared the top of the vehicles. He added that the repairs would commence within the next two weeks, once the part necessary for the repair was expected to be received and, in the meantime, a warning notice was to be displayed. He concluded that Officers were looking to install, within the next financial year, an alternative entry and exit system which would eliminate the problem although in the interim contractual arrangements were being reviewed to see if a more efficient repairs process could be out in place.
b) Mr Michael Farrow asked the Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee about the annual expenditure of the Public Relations Department, the number of staff employed and the justification for the cost.
In response, the Chairman detailed the budget of the Public Relations Office and the staff employed. He also gave recent examples of the work of the Public Relations Department and commented that the cost of the department compared favourably when considered alongside the cost of advertising features. He detailed the Member scrutiny of the budget and work of the department. In reply to a supplementary question posed by Mr Farrow the Chairman stated that he considered that it would not be appropriate to reduce the funding to the Department at the current time. In reply to a supplementary question posed by Mr Mooney the Chairman confirmed that it was always more difficult to promote the good, noncontroversial story that reflected the positive job done by the City. In reply to a supplementary question posed by Mr Welbank the Chairman agreed that it was often difficult to engage with the press in areas outside of the City.
c) Mr Peter Martinelli asked the Chairman of the Police Committee about investigations by the City of London Police into sexual abuse at St Paul‟s Choir School.
In response the Chairman referred to a press report which related to a member of staff at the school who had been arrested in April 2009 following allegations that the individual had been aware of sexual abuse at the school in the late 1980s. In reply to a supplementary question posed by Mr Martinelli the Chairman advised that the Community and Children‟s Services Department was advised of all such allegations.

Finance, Policy and Establishment Committees - Reports, etc. POLICY & RESOURCES COMMITTEE (Stuart Fraser) 11 March 2010 Common Hall 2011
The Election of Lord Mayor takes place at the annual gathering of Common Hall on Michaelmas Day, 29 September. In 2011, Michaelmas Day falls on the first day of the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah), a major religious festival, which in that year extends over 29-30 September (Thursday and Friday). In these circumstances, it is customary to re-schedule Common Hall to the nearest convenient date.
The Admission of Sheriffs takes place on 28 September (ie. the day preceding the Election of Lord Mayor). There is no power to change the date of the Admission, which in any event is outside the religious festival in 2011, other than when 28 September falls on a weekend, and, therefore, it will take place as usual on that date in 2011.
Authority to alter the date of the Election of the Lord Mayor, other than when it falls on a weekend, lies in the Act of Common Council of 22 March 1973. In order to meet the requirements of the Act, it is necessary to obtain a formal resolution of the Court of Common Council re-scheduling the date of Common Hall at least one year in advance of the event.
In order to avoid the difficulties and inconvenience that would be caused by holding the Election of Lord Mayor on 29 September 2011, we recommend that the Court resolve to re- schedule the event for Monday, 3 October 2011 and thereby enable notice of the changed date to be issued to all concerned in good time.

PLANNING & TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE (Deputy Christine Cohen, O.B.E.) 23 February 2010 London Strategic Walks Network Project 2010/11 Since 2003, the City of London has acted on behalf of Transport for London (TfL) as the lead authority managing the London Strategic Walks Network (LSWN). We are now seeking a budget provision to allow us to continue in that role for its penultimate year, the expenditure for which would be fully reimbursed by TfL.
The LSWN partnership comprises six strategic flagship walks that cross 31 of the London boroughs and the City, forming a network connecting to popular London destinations. The network, which has been developed in response to public demand and managed with the support of every London local authority, attracts tourism to deprived areas and enhances accessibility. Walking is a key element of the Mayor of London‟s Transport Strategy as it provides a healthy, sustainable, safe mode of transport, and promoting the Strategic Walks is part of the strategy to make London the walking capital of Europe by 2015.
As the lead authority, the City manages the project supported by a Steering Group made up of five Route Managers and chaired by a Project Manager appointed by the City, all of whom are funded by TfL. The London local authorities themselves, monitored by the Steering Group, implement the majority of the proposed works and are responsible for the ongoing maintenance costs associated with the LSWN.
TfL has invited us, once again, to act as the lead authority of the project for the 2010/11 financial year, and we would like to continue in that role so that we can provide valued continuity and benefit from a positive partnership with London local authorities. This partnership will be dissolved at the end of 2011/12, as a review by TfL and London Councils has decided that most partnerships that receive Local Implementation Plan funding will cease in 2010/11, but that LSWN should continue for a further year to enable the completion of related projects.
As the lead authority, the City would continue to manage the consultants for the scheme who manage the project: the Access Company and Gary Cliffe Consultancy. Their expected costs in 2010/11 are approximately £25,000 each, the same as the previous year. All costs of the project, including its design, implementation, management, and any City staff or administration costs, are wholly reimbursable by TfL, with no effect on the City Fund reserves and little impact on City cash flows. TfL has already allocated a settlement of £1.5m to the City, which is the estimated cost of the LSWN for 2010/11, but an appropriate provision must still be made in the City Fund Capital Budget.
We would also seek authority to increase the necessary financial provisions in the 2010/11 budget if required, provided the grant allocations to the City cover the estimated expenditure.
The Finance and Policy & Resources Committees concur with our proposals, and we recommend that:- 8th April, 2010 148
(i) a provision of £1.5m be made in the City Fund Capital Budget to cover the costs of the London Strategic Walks Network project for the 2010/11 financial year on the basis that the money is to be entirely covered by grant allocations from Transport for London; and (ii) we be authorised to increase the necessary financial provisions in the 2010/11 budget provided that the grant allocations to the City cover the estimated expenditure. Read and agreed to.
COMMUNITY & CHILDREN'S SERVICES COMMITTEE (William Harry Dove, M.B.E., J.P.) 12 February 2010 Middlesex Street - Proposed Decent Homes Works (replacement windows, kitchens and bathrooms)
In line with the Government‟s Decent Homes programme, we have considered revised proposals for the installation of triple glazed, as opposed to double glazed, windows and doors on the Middlesex Street Estate. We consider that the high performance triple glazed windows will provide maximum thermal comfort in homes as well as significantly reducing energy costs. The triple glazing does, however, represent a significant change to the original brief and requires the Court‟s authority to approve an increase of £484,589 to the current approved capital works budget. We accordingly submit our recommendations in the form of a printed and circulated report and, with the concurrence of the Finance Committee, we recommend its approval.
Read and agreed to.
