Report ES18018

Prior to formal agreement by the Committee’s membership for the next Council Year, Members supported the Committee’s 2018/19 Work Programme. In so doing, the Chairman highlighted a need for the Committee to consider a further item this year (related to the new Highways Contracts). It was too late to consider the item at the Committee’s next scheduled meeting on 10^th July 2018 and a special meeting of the Committee would be necessary in April 2018 before a decision is taken at a special Executive meeting (date to be confirmed).

Concerning Electric Vehicle Charging referred to in the progress report on previous requests appended to Report ES18018, a Member highlighted that a resident had already sold his electric vehicle as a charging point had been difficult to locate. The Portfolio Holder advised that 20 EV public charging points are already installed in the borough, their locations having been selected by Source London based upon addresses of their members in the borough. As such, officers worked with Source London to site the charging spaces at the charging point locations. The Portfolio Holder suggested that perhaps the resident was not a member of the Source London Scheme.

RESLOLVED that:

(1)  the Committee’s 2018/19 Forward Work Programme be noted;

(2)  progress concerning previous Committee requests be noted; and

(3)  a special meeting of the Committee be considered for a date in April 2018, prior to a special meeting of the Executive.
