Money for Repairs
On the 13th January there was a full City Council meeting where Sue Pearson, your local Common Councillor, proposed a motion that the repairs programme for all the City Estates be accelerated by using some of the City’s financial reserves. The repairs programme is moving incredibly slowly even by the City’s standards with the last 5 year plan being inadequately funded while the Estates decay and tenants live in unacceptable conditions. The City has a fund called City Cash which has reserves of £2.6 billion. They have dedicated £50 million of this money to support small business during the pandemic but nothing to support residents. £37 million of this money has not been spent and Sue suggested that, as a start, it might be a good idea to redirect this to Estate repairs.At the Council meeting discussion of the motion was cut short by a point of order and the the motion to speed up repair of your Estates was lost by 75 votes to 19.

"But are the City appealing to the Supreme Court as they threatened?"

"I was advised that there was no particular advantage in trying to do it collectively as the tasks that could be shared wouldn’t make much difference in cost. Could your solicitor put together some costs for a group?

Tim Godsmark replied to Nicholas Tait's discussion Proposals for replacement of the Museum of London
"If you see the document that they have produced they have set out the results of the initial consultation and then ignored them completely. As usual City ‘consultations’ are a waste of time."
Tim Godsmark replied to Nicholas Tait's discussion Proposals for replacement of the Museum of London
"They were managing to pay for it when it was going to be a concert hall.
what is interesting is that they have carried on with the museum relocation without knowing how they are going to pay for it."

1 Golden Lane
Myself and a couple of other residents had a meeting today with the developer and architect for 1 Golden Lane, the old UBS building between the Denizen and the Barbican. The proposals are to refurbish the building as offices. They said that they were looking at making it taller but this would probably be housed in the top floor that is currently a plant space. It currently has an underground garage and this will be changed to plant and cycle facilities and the development will be car free.We…See More

- Tim, how do I go about raising funds for an event in mid July for the GLE? Long time since I did anything like this but pretty sure it has to go through Glera and that there are forms to fill in for the City.
Christine with thanks
