Trustee's Annual Report and Financial Statements

Report of the Chamberlain.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Chamberlain on the Trustee’s Annual Report and Finance Statement.

 

The Chairman highlighted the funding from the City of London grant to the management of the Park and as a result observed that the only viable option for the Nursery included combined usage due to the large increase in capital expenditure for the alternative option. A member of the Committee stated that the provision of housing within Newham was not the concern of the West Ham Park Committee. Further to this a Member stated that Officers should make clear in their communication with the Charity Commission that not all Members of the West Ham Park Committee agreed with the Nursey Project combined usage option and that only the summary of the consultant’s report had been considered by the Committee. A Member replied that it was standard practice within the City of London Corporation that Officer’s reports include their summary and recommendations with background reports available on request.

 

It was commented by a member of the Committee that the Nursey being in a derelict condition should be listed as a risk for the management of West Ham Park and should be included in the communication to the Charity Commission.

 

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
