Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath that updated Members on the on-going management and operational activities at Queen’s Park.

Members took account of the views of the Joint Consultative Group in their discussion on the proposal to hold a fireworks display in the Park. The Superintendent advised that a wider consultation on events in the Park was currently being carried out with users and local residents, the results of which would inform the policy on approval for such events going forward.

In response to a query from a Member in regards to Christmas tree collection, Officers clarified that the London Borough of Brent funded the collection of the trees from the Park.

RESOLVED – That the request for a licence for a fireworks display in the Park be declined, with the Committee to await the outcome of feedback from the Event Survey to consider it as a future event.
