Schedule of Visits 2018

Minutes:

Members considered the schedule of Open Spaces visits for 2018, noting that an updated and more comprehensive version to that which was presented in the papers had been tabled.

 

The Chairman advised that the intention was to consolidate relevant dates and calendar items into a single document, to facilitate a great awareness of what was going on across the totality of the various open spaces managed by the City.

 

Members suggested that thought should be given to the placement of relevant dates on a website, with it noted that the establishment of a single website to publicise all of the City’s open spaces and various events would be very helpful. It was noted, however, that careful thought would need to be given to the publication of various dates, as there were a significant number and it would be wise to avoid to be seen to promote some events and not others. A Member noted that the Policy and Resources Committee was soon to consider funding a significantly improved City Corporation website and noted that, once data was in place on that forum, there may well be an opportunity to alter the lay-out and way in which information was accessed in different ways, so as to greater publicise the activities of the various open spaces.

 

A Member also noted that some individual open spaces currently produced their own publications, suggesting that these should be distributed more widely to all Members, so as to raise awareness.

 

RESOLVED: That the Open Spaces visits schedule 2018 be noted.
