East Barnet Improvement Committee

Councillor Laurie Williams

 East Barnet Improvement Committee

Councillor Laurie Williams         Request for £9733 for Provision and Upkeep of Hanging Baskets in East Barnet Village.

The Chairman stated that he had concerns over the sustainability of the proposal. The proposal required liquidity of £400 per month to maintain. The Chairman also reminded the Committee members that the Borough does not own the lamp post and so permission would need to be sought from the owners prior to the implementation of the works.

Officers stated that similar schemes had been tried in the Borough before but had failed due to lack of maintenance.  

The Chairman asked for greater assurances over the scheme’s long term sustainability and requested that the item be deferred to the next meeting to allow the submission of information relating to the businesses who had  signed up to fund the scheme. The Chairman further requested that all quotes originally received should be provided to the Committee

The PFI contract in relation to attaching the hanging baskets and the advertisements would also need to be clarified.

RESOLVED that consideration of this item be deferred until the next meeting of the Committee to receive the information requested above.
