Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath that reviewed the work carried out by the Hampstead Heath Constabulary (HHC) during the period 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014. The Queen’s Park and Constabulary Manager advised that 2,157 incidents/occurrences had been recorded during this period but that figure did not take into account the 17,000 general engagements with Heath users throughout the year. Members were also advised that there had been a focus in control during the period as the Dog Control Action Plan was implemented in March 2014.

In response to a Member’s question, the Queen’s Park and Constabulary Manager advised that a good relationship existed between the HHC and Kenwood House. The Member of the Committee representing English Heritage at Kenwood House agreed and thanked the HHC for their continued support.

RESOLVED – That the work of the HHC during 2014 and the continued effort being made to strengthen links with other agencies, helping to ensure that Hampstead Heath remains a safe, appealing and enjoyable place for millions to visit each year, by reducing the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour, be noted.
