Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath regarding an informal consultation concerning possible modifications to the legislation governing the City of London Corporation’s Open Spaces.

Members were advised that the changes would help to increase income generation at the Pavilion Café, which was currently restricted to a maximum three year licence under current legislation. Changes to management powers could lead to the consideration of dog control orders at Highgate Wood and the provision of licensed fitness sessions. Alison Watson (Friends of Queen’s Wood) suggested that Queen’s Wood be consulted on any future dog control policies.

The Superintendent added that any comments from members on the Changing Legislation document could be sent to him and the Highgate Wood Conservation and Trees Manager.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
