Report of the Superintendent.

Paul Maskell (Leisure and Events Manager, Hampstead Heath) provided an overview of the main issues set out in the report before Members relative to a Review of Hampstead Heath 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games - Green to Gold Activities.   The report detailed the success of the Green to Gold Campaign and events held on Hampstead Heath in support of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Committee was appraised about a number of key achievements of the campaign included the delivery of a number of significant sporting events on the Heath, including the English National Cross-Country Championship and the 14th Duathlon.  Reference was made to successful cultural events on the Heath such as the artistic installation by Jeremy Deller; the "Play me, I am yours" piano as part of the  City of London Festival and increased partnership work with individuals, organisations and other local authorities including the London Boroughs of Barnet and Camden.

The Committee thanked Paul Maskell and the team for all their hard work in delivering such a successful programme of activities in 2012.
