After consulting with the City Council’s property department it was decided that a meeting be held on the 12th February. The intention of the meeting was to consult on plans for the independent “La Mimosa” punt station.
The meeting was with Alastair Roberts and Phil Doggett from the council and 5 independent punt operators.
At the meeting it quickly became clear that the number one concern for independents is that the station may not be available in time and they will lose their livelihoods. To paraphrase the response given “vacant possession should be established within 2-3 days”.
