The public minutes of the Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood and Queen’s Park Committee (HHHWQPC) meeting held on 13 March 2019 were received.

In response to a query from a Member (Hampstead Garden Suburb Residents' Association) regarding Brexit, the Director of Open Spaces confirmed that the Corporation was responsible for the supervision of container ports and Brexit potentially brought concerns regarding plant material and animals. The Corporation will continue to work with DEFRA to manage risks imports from Europe.

With regards to grant aid, Members were advised that this issue affected all of the Corporation’s Opens Spaces; however, DEFRA has agreed to offer the same grant aid following Brexit.
