Statement from @cityoflondon Stuart Fraser, the City of London Corporation's policy chairman, said: "The Church has changed its standpoint and announced it is suspending legal action on its land.
"Given that change, we've pressed the 'pause' button overnight on legal action affecting the highways, in order to support the Cathedral as an important national institution and give time for reflection.

"We want to leave more space for a resolution of this difficult issue, while at the same time not backing away from our responsibilities as a Highway Authority.

"We're hoping to use a pause, probably of days not weeks, to work out a measured solution."

The Corporation said it would make a further announcement tomorrow lunchtime regarding the matter.
