Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Committee considered a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath updating them on the 2016 events programme and presenting the proposed 2017 programme. Members discussed the mission statement for the events programme, which currently stated that events should promote health and wellbeing. It was felt the statement should reflect modern preferences for events and determine why events should be held on the Heath. The statement could then be used for publicity purposes.

Members further discussed the future of the Fairs on the Heath, their long history and how they could be adapted to be more attractive to Heath users. Regular meetings were held with the Showmen’s Guild to discuss the issue.

In response to a query from a Member, it was confirmed that the 2017 events diary would be launched at the Easter Fair.

RESOLVED – That the proposed 2017 Events Programme be approved.
