Report of the Superintendent.

Members received a report of the Superintendent, Hampstead Heath relative to a review of the Hampstead Heath Summer Events Programme in 2012.

Paul Maskell (Leisure and Events Manager, Hampstead Heath) outlined the main issues set out in the report before Members, including implementation by the Education and Play Teams on Hampstead Heath of 31 nature focussed events during the summer holidays to inspire children and families about nature.  It was noted that the summer programme had been adapted to appeal to other audiences including those under 5.  As demonstrated by the participation figures in Appendix A, the events had proven very popular.

As previously suggested, a Member of the Committee requested that further consideration be given to the development of an interpretation centre on the Heath.

The Committee welcomed the report and praised the team for its efforts and achievements. 

RESOLVED - That the Committee notes the success of the Summer Events Programme 2012.
