Agenda item

Report of the Director of Open Spaces.

The Committee noted that within the City of London Open Spaces, charges for sports activities are reviewed annually. The report set out the proposed fees and charges for sports facilities provided at West Ham Park in 2018/19.

In response to a query regarding concession charges and fees Members noted that the current prices were in line with local facilities. Members noted that fees for cricket pitches and tennis courts was higher than those charged for football pitches due to there being less local competition for the latter. The football pitches were also underused at present due to the close proximity of facilities at Wanstead Flats and because the changing rooms were a distance away from the pitches at West Ham Park.

Resolved – that Members approve the proposed schedule of charges for sports facilities in West Ham Park for the 2018/19 financial year.
