Meeting in the Lilac Room at 18:30 on 4th October will be held to discuss ...
The City are always looking to make more money from the car parks. Money raised in this way is used to help fund the CPAs we all rely on so much.
The proposal is that Gnewt Cargo UK will use the Beton House / Ben Jonson House car park as a redistribution centre. An HGV would bulk deliver to the car park once per day, and a team of 20 people would then deliver individual parcels using electric vehicles.

Gnewt and the City have discussed this idea in the past, but it was dropped. I thought this was because there was not enough power available in the car park to charge the electric vehicles, but I could be wrong there.
At the meeting we will be able to ask about timings, noise, how many parking spots will be taken for Gnewt and how many will be left for residents and visitors ... and anything else you can think of.

Dear residents
Gnewt Consolidation Centre Proposal
The Barbican Estate Office would like to invite you to a presentation meeting regarding a car park proposal at the Barbican Estate. The details regarding this meeting are below:
18:30 - Tuesday 4 October
Residents' Meeting Room (Lilac Room)
Barbican Estate Office
Discussions have taken place with Gnewt Cargo Limited regarding a trial consolidation centre within the Breton/Ben Jonson House Car Park. This particular car park currently has 146 vacant bays (occupancy 39%) and this project looks at the possibility of letting 35 of bays.
Gnewt provide an efficient and environmentally friendly service for the 'last mile' distribution of parcels and packages. A location at Breton/Ben Jonson House Car Park would enable them to make short distance deliveries to city addresses using electrical vehicles, bicycles and pedestrian staff.
The City of London's Low Emission Neighbourhood team has also been working with us on this project as Gnewt are totally green, with a fully electric fleet.
We welcome your comments/questions regarding this potential trial with Gnewt, and this will form a 'Question and Answer' sheet which we will provide to those that attend the meeting – however if you cannot attend the meeting we will gladly forward this and the presentation onto you for your information.
Please send these questions and requests to:- barry.ashton@cityoflondon.gov.uk
This pre-planning consultation meeting and the feedback we receive will form part of the Planning Application. It will also be a good trial for possible future income generation for the car parks as part of the City's Service Based Review.
