Report of the Superintendent of Epping Forest.

The Committee considered the report of the Superintendent of Epping Forest regarding permission to perform Civil Marriages and Partnerships at The Temple and The Temple Enclosure. Members said that a working party had been created to discuss all aspects of management of Wanstead Park and they had hoped the working party would have had sight of the report prior to the Committee being consulted. Members noted that the proposal was to hold wedding ceremonies at Wanstead Park only and not wedding receptions. Members noted that open air ceremonies were currently not legal and therefore did not form part of the proposal.

Resolved – that permission be granted to perform civil marriages and partnerships at The Temple and The Temple enclosure.
