Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath that set out a request received from Hampstead Rugby Club to create an additional third rugby pitch on the Hampstead Heath Extension. Members were advised that the request met the guidelines set out in the Hampstead Heath Management Plan for alterations to existing sports provision or the creation of new sports facilities in designated sports areas.

In response to a question from David Walton submitted before the meeting, the Operational Services Manager explained that slitting and vertidraining would be carried out as sports provision was now included in the Annual Work Plan.

The Committee expressed broad support for the creation of the additional rugby pitch on the Heath Extension and wished to highlight the excellent work carried out by Hampstead Rugby Club.

RESOLVED – That the request for a third rugby pitch on the Hampstead Heath Extension be noted and supported.
