Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath outlining progress made on the Ponds Project since the last meeting. The contractor, BAM Nutall had virtually completed their works and the Heath team would continue with ecological and planting works. A Gateway 7 report would be presented to the Committee.

Members noted the success of the Model Boating Pond opening ceremony, which had marked the end of the works. In response to a statement from a Consultative Committee Member, it was being investigated whether a small area on the island could be set aside as a bird sanctuary.

The Committee wished to thank the previous Chairman for his hard work at the start of the project and his dedication to consultation with Heath users.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
