Request
Deputation from David Twine - Islington Environment Alliance
1. It is good to read that the Arup audit review has been completed, but the NLHPP Update paper to this meeting does not present the members, as the governance body, with any of the findings. Please can you confirm the members have been issued with the full Arup audit report, so they can fulfil their governance role through a full understanding of the performance, management and leadership of this mega-project by both Acciona and NLWA?
2. When will the report of the Arup audit review be presented as a publicly accessible document? In the interim, please present to this meeting their main findings.
Response
Dear Mr Twine,
Thank you for your deputation and continued interest in the North London Heat and Power Project.
As stated in the meeting, the audit review report has been submitted to the project team. Officers are reviewing the report, which runs to almost 200 pages, preparing summary documents and identifying the key findings. NLWA Members will be briefed in full, the report will be discussed at the borough steering group of senior officers and appropriate measures will be taken to make information public, recognising limitations on sharing commercially confidential information.
In the meantime, progress continues to be made on site, and the project team continues to robustly manage Acciona’s contract.
