A report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath (copy attached).

The Superintendent introduced the update on recent sports activities on the Heath, noting that Richard Sumray was the new Chairman of the Sports Advisory Forum. He concluded his introduction by summarising both recent forthcoming high-profile events. In response to questions from Members he confirmed that harrowing was carried out on areas of the Heath subject to intensive use by large scale events to promote regeneration.

RESOLVED, that Members:

·         Note the success of the various sport events held over the last few months; and

·         approve the use of ‘pop up’ flood lights on a one year trial basis to help accommodate winter training sessions and improve turf management within the Parliament Hill area of the Heath.
