Good morning, and welcome to the House of Lords in the Built Environment Select Committee. Last week, we started our latest short inquiry into public realm, and enforcement and maintenance of public realm across the country. And this is our second session today where we have not only a star cast before us, but we are going to be focusing on how do you get a high standard and maintain a high standard in the public realm across the country. And joining us today, we have first is Councillor Cashman, who is Chair of the LGA Inclusive Growth Committee, as well as being a councillor on Liverpool City Council. We have Alexander Jan, who's Chair of Central District Alliance and Hatton Garden BIDs, and has got a background in the built environment as well as working for Arup.

And then, finally, on this side, we have John Dunne, who is Chairman of the WISE Services Group, which, from my understanding, is a an enforcement partner to many local authorities across the country. Thank you very much for joining us today.

I think you're aware we've got a series of questions, which will all ask. A few things from me first, I think it'd be great to hear as much evidence of good examples, and not, that you may have. I think it would be good to hear a lot about some of the work that happens not just in some of the big cities, but if you've got sort of examples in smaller local authorities, I think that would be good to hear. But also, crucially, examples of where local authorities and business, and civil society, as well as other corporations and individuals can pull together, and help improve public realm. If you have answers to any of questions, we'd love to hear from you, obviously.

I think if you could keep your answers as tight as is possible and we will keep our questions short, as well. If you feel that the question's been answered, please don't feel obliged to fill the time. I'm conscious of your time as much as ours.
