Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath that provided an update on the progress of the Hampstead Heath Ponds Project.

The Project Director advised that more space was required in relation to the works to Model Boating Pond (MBP) and the proposals for this would be presented to the Ponds Project Community Working Group later that day. He added that planning permission for these ancillary works would not be required. Members were also advised that a plan was being formulated to deal with reinstatement issues to pathway edges caused by vehicle movement.

In response to a Member’s question regarding delays, the Project Director advised that the large-scale works at MBP were currently 12 weeks behind but they remained on course to be completed before the planned Project end date. The Superintendent added that a site visit would be arranged for Committee Members in due course.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
