Introduction Efforts to build IWM’s reputation as a research organisation continued apace in 2012, with several promising developments. The start of the year saw the beginning of the first IWM project to be wholly funded by a grant from AHRC, following IWM’s achievement of Independent Research Organisation (IRO) status. Whose Remembrance? was a scoping study which set out to investigate levels of awareness of the experiences of the peoples of Britain’s former empire in the two world wars. Its scope and achievements are detailed in the section on ‘successful funding bids’ below. Led by the Research Department, the project – funded under the Connected Communities scheme – addressed a particularly pressing issue and produced lively and engaging workshops during the summer of 2012. The year saw continued effort on Research across IWM. Staff generated over 20 publications and gave presentations at more than 50 workshops, conferences and symposia during the year, in addition to providing advice, expertise and media appearances across a wide range of subjects.

  • Policing the Bridges Appendix 1.Pdf
    Appendix One NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Policing the Bridges and allocation of costs to the Bridge House Estates OPINION Introduction 1. This Opinion considers the nature and extent of the City's obligations as to the policing of the City's bridges and the extent to which those costs may be attributed to the Bridge House Estates. It focuses on general policing responsibilities rather than any specific project, although the issue has recently received renewed attention as the result of a project to install river cameras at the bridges. Issues concerning the quantum of any contribution and a Trustee‟s general duty to act in the best interests of Trust are not dealt with in this Opinion. 2. In order to provide context and to inform interpretation, some historical constitutional background is included. This has however been confined to material which assists in deciding the extent of the obligations and sources of funding rather than providing a broader narrative. After a short account of the history of the „Watch‟, each bridge is considered in turn, concluding, in each case, with an assessment of the position under current legislation. Establishment of Watches and the Bridges 3. In what appears to be a remarkably coordinated national move, the Statute of Winchester 1285 (13 Edw. I), commanded that watch be kept in all cities and towns and that two Constables be chosen in every "Hundred" or "Franchise"; specific to the City, the Statuta Civitatis London, also passed in 1285, regularised watch arrangements so that the gates of London would be shut every night and that the City‟s twenty-four Wards, would each have six watchmen controlled by an Alderman.

However, as reported to Members in July 2018, the 2017 event faced a number of new and considerably challenging interdependent issues that almost led to its last- minute cancellation. These included escalating security requirements, significant crowd safety concerns and the objections of Transport for London and Westminster City Council to the much longer road closure window the event now required. These challenges were expected to remain for the foreseeable future, and given the difficulty in identifying safe ways to mitigate these risks to the satisfaction of the City Corporation and its key partners, the display was cancelled for 2018. However, officers were asked to revisit whether the fireworks could be safely reinstated in subsequent years, or to seek alternatives. Having re-examined the event plan in considerable detail, the key issue remains the interdependency between: the need to protect the event in terms of counter terrorism mitigation; the requirements for crowd safety, and; the importance of minimising the road closures so that Central London is not disproportionately affected.

  • Statement of Common Ground Between London Borough of Southwark and the City of London Corporation
    Statement of Common Ground between London Borough of Southwark and the City of London Corporation December 2019 1 Introduction This Statement of Common Ground (SCG) addresses the strategic planning matters specific to Southwark, its neighbouring boroughs, and other strategic partner organisations. This SCG has been prepared by Southwark Council in agreement with the City of London Corporation. The purpose of the SCG is to document the strategic cross-boundary matters being addressed and progress in cooperating to address them. This SCG ensures that the requirements set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) have been met. The NPPF states, “Local planning authorities and county councils (in two-tier areas) are under a duty to cooperate with each other, and with other prescribed bodies, on strategic matters that cross administrative boundaries.” Southwark Council engages with other boroughs and the City of London through regular meetings either between officers or elected members with formalised governance arrangements such as the London Councils Leaders’ Committee, Association of London Borough Planning Officers, the Cross River Partnership, the South East London Duty to Cooperate Group and the Southeast London Joint Waste Planning Group. We also maintain correspondence between planning departments on a variety of issues and projects and organise additional meetings on strategic planning matters when needed. Figure 1: Locations of Southwark and the City of London Corporation within Greater London. 2 Strategic Geography London Borough of Southwark Southwark is a densely populated and diverse inner London borough set over almost 30km of land to the south of the River Thames. Home to over 314,000 people, the borough is a patchwork of communities set over diverse 23 wards.
