Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk regarding the location of Committee meetings. Members were asked to consider whether to hold Committee meetings at a venue at or near Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood or Queen’s Park.

The Chairman encouraged Members to attend Hampstead Heath Consultative Committee meetings in the public gallery. A list of upcoming Consultative Committee meeting dates would be circulated by the Town Clerk and Members were advised to inform him in advance of any meeting they wished to attend.

Members discussed the various implications of changing the location and times of the meetings to enable better engagement with local users. The Committee requested that a trial period be entered into in 2016 whereby one meeting be held in the evening at Guildhall and one meeting be held in the evening at Hampstead Heath; the latter preceded by an afternoon walk of the Heath.

RESOLVED – That consideration be given to an evening meeting at Guildhall and an evening meeting at Hampstead Heath, preceded by an afternoon Committee walk, during 2016.
