Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

Members considered a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath regarding the proposed fees and charges for a range of sports facilities and services provided at Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood & Queen’s Park for 2019/20 and the proposed fees and charges for Weddings and Civil Ceremonies for 2020/21.

It was noted that a new section had been added (Remediation Deposit) which would cover charges incurred by events, e.g. water, electricity, etc, and this was linked to the Events Policy.  

In response to a question regarding trainers and dog walkers, the Superintendent advised Members that the charges incurred would depend on the numbers of people/dogs involved. It was agreed that work was needed to ensure the correct fee structure was implemented to cover these businesses that used the Park.
