Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Consultative Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath that provided details of the progress of the Hampstead Heath Ponds Project.

In response to a member’s (Highgate Conservation Area Advisory Committee) question regarding collateral damage caused by Ponds Project vehicles on paths and walkways, the Superintendent advised that any works required to combat erosion as a consequence of the Project would be added to the appropriate work programmes and management plans. In response to an additional question (South End Green Association), the Superintendent added that areas surrounding the Ladies’ Pond would be considered for wildflowers.

In response to a member’s (Heath and Hampstead Society) request, the Superintendent advised that a progress and forward plan for the whole length of the Project could be presented to the next Community Working Group and Consultative Committee meetings. He added that details would also be provided at the next site walk on 14 November 2015.

RESOLVED – That the Hampstead Heath Ponds Project update report be noted.
