Questions on Matters Relating to the Work of the Committee

Minutes:

In response to a question regarding the need for a policy outlining the City Corporation’s views on the use of animals in circuses taking place in the City’s open spaces, the Director informed Members that it would be beneficial to firstly seek the views of the Hampstead Heath Consultative Committee on whether there was a need for such a policy. Members agreed that the local reaction should initially be gauged before the decision regarding the need for such a policy could be taken.

 

In response to a question regarding the West Ham Park Nursery review, the Committee noted that earlier in the year the Superintendent had been tasked with working with consultants to consider all of the options for the future of the Nursery. Members noted that a report would be submitted to the West Ham Park Committee either in December 2016 or February 2017. An update would be circulated to the Committee Members, along with the Superintendent’s update,
