The Committee considered the report of the Democratic Services Manager some outstanding issues that had been raised by the Hackney Carriage Association.

Mr Conyan of the Hackney Carriage Association (“HCA”) informed members that the HCA had been consulted on the High Street Regeneration project and were happy with the proposals.  Mr Conyan did raise some concern as to whether they would be re-consulted should the proposals change and he was also unsure of the timescale of the project.  Mr Conyan stated that if the project was not going to start for another 3 years, then the HCA may wish to re-visit the issue of the bays by the Monument.

Mr Conyan stated that he understood the financial implications for moving the camera in King Street.  However, he would need confirmed costs in order to ask the HCA if they wish to pay for it.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the report be noted.

2.  That the Democratic Services Manager inform Mr Conyan of the timescales of the High Street Regeneration project and request officers to re-consult with the HCA should the planned proposals require any amendment.
