Agenda item

To receive a resolution from the Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood & Queen's Park Committee, supported by the Epping Forest & Commons Committee, concerning Sport Engagement.

The Committee received a resolution from the Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood and Queen’s Park Committee concerning sports engagement and the role of the several open spaces committees, together with certain other committees, with regard to the new strategy.

The Director of Communications provided clarification in respect of a number of areas and agreed that the pillars proposed were sensible, noting that they were already reflected within the job description of the Sports Engagement Officer post. He reiterated the previous commitment to share all sport engagement reports with interested committees and the Chair noted her longstanding commitment to open spaces work needing to be at the forefront of sports engagement activities. It was noted that final decision-making would need to rest with Policy & Resources and its Public Relations and Economic Development Sub-Committee as the work was cross-cutting and fell across multiple areas.

RESOLVED: That the resolution be noted.
