Report of the Director of Open Spaces.

The Committee received a report of the Director of Open Spaces on the issues across the nine sites within ‘The Commons’ division.

The Chairman highlighted that there were issues with Thames Water at sites in Epping Forest and the Commons sites commenting that a joint approach to this could be a more productive approach in negotiations. 

Responding to a query from a Committee member the Director of Open Spaces agreed to circulate photographic examples of wildlife discussed in the report to Committee.

The Committee discussed the appropriate way to thank volunteers across all the City of London Corporation Open Spaces for their work particularly over the difficult period effected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. A Member noted that the Volunteer’s Reception had been arranged for the 8^th of February 2022.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
