Agenda item

Superintendent of Hampstead Heath to be heard on Highgate Wood and Queen’s Park matters.

The Superintendent of Hampstead Heath provided the Committee with an update on the following issues:

Queen’s Park Events

He noted that the recent Film Nights in Queen’s Park had gone well, with around 500 persons attending each event. He reported that Queen’s Park Day on 15 September had attracted several thousand visitors despite inclement weather.

Highgate Wood Events

The Superintendent reported that the Highgate Wood Heritage Festival on 1 September had been similarly well attended, in comparison to the Queen’s Park Day.

Photovoltaic Cells

The Superintendent concluded his update by noting that the installation of photovoltaic cells had been completed on the workshop in the Wood and that the cells were now contributing to both the National Grid as well as the operational needs of staff and equipment in Highgate Wood.

Members of the Committee thanked the Superintendent for his update and suggested that future events such as Queen’s Park Day be put into the Members’ Pocket Book and onto Modern.Gov for information.
