Agenda item

A report of the Director of Open Spaces (copy attached).

The Superintendent of West Ham Park introduced a report of the Director of Open Spaces regarding the Green Flag Awards 2013. He noted that there was no report for West Ham Park as the Green Flag judges had failed to turn up on the date that had been scheduled for inspection. Instead, the Park had been ‘mystery shopped’ by alternative judges at a later date. The Superintendent did note however that he had been given very positive feedback from the London in Bloom judges.

RESOLVED:

·         That the great success achieved by the City of London’s Open Spaces in the Green Flag and London in Bloom Awards be noted and reported to the Court of Common Council on 24 October 2013.

·         That the members of staff and volunteers across all of the Open Spaces be congratulated on their contribution to the Corporation’s success in the awards.
