The group complained about the paving work being carried out opposite All Saints DLR which prompted discussion on borough policy.

Action: TF to send the LBTH 2 page consultation document compiled by the Transport Department on proposals for the Borough spending review.

Tracey informed the group that the market manager had resigned due to ill health. The group 'Urban Practitioners' is making sure the business plan moves forward in the interim.

Tracey confirmed that the £50k for security measures went towards a CCTV upgrade and extra officer time organised by Inspector Adam Ridgewell.

Tracey added that HARCA were now meeting the full costs of the PCSOs as the NRF funding came to an end in March. Four PCSOs will now be employed in each LAP due to the success of the scheme. Any local information regarding crime can be passed to Chris Clarke at Poplar HARCA who meets each week with the Police.

Simon raised the point that these measures were short term. Tracey responded by saying that the long term objectives were embedded in the business plan and these short term measures were 'quick wins'.

Marilyn pointed out the amount of trouble that exists outside the Off License.

Action: TF will bring it to the attention of Inspector Adam Ridgewell and to AJ Tahani to see what the plans are for the Off License.

The group also expressed concerns about the inefficiency of the Post Office.

Action: TF will give the manager's name and number to the group so they can express their frustration regarding the post office.

Other market issues included the news that Beatrice Filkin is submitting a bid to the Mayor of London's Urban Cultural Fund and that TF has secured two places plus an additional place for the Chair on the Chrisp Street Market Partnership.
