Agenda item

Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

Members considered a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath regarding the proposed High-Level Asset Management Plan for Hampstead Heath which was

developed in conjunction with the City Surveyors Department to ensure the effective

use and management of buildings and structures across Hampstead Heath.

The Chairman felt that the word “retail” should be removed from the third objective concerning the Parliament Hill Fields Review and changed to “visitor, engagement and education centre”. The Superintendent advised that this objective had already been changed to “Heath related retail” to incorporate income revenue which should be reflected.   

Members discussed the possibility for a Hampstead Heath app or web presence to share information, talks and videos from the space, etc. Members were advised that these ideas had been discussed on numerous occasions by the Chairmen of Open Spaces and had been informed by the IT Department that it was not possible. A Member disagreed and felt that Officers should work to make the website and app happen as it was the will of the Members.  

RESOLVED – That:-

·         Members approve the proposed High-Level Asset Management Plan for Hampstead Heath 2019-2021 (appendix 1) as outlined in para 7.
