Report of the City Surveyor.

Members considered a report of the City Surveyor setting out a provisional list of cyclical projects being considered for the Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood and Queen’s Park Division in 2020/21 under the umbrella of the “Cyclical Works Programme” (CWP).

Members were advised that the cyclical works were all in line with the AWP and that the projects on the main list had funding and the other projects did not have funding.

A Member (Hampstead Garden Suburb Residents' Association) felt that the design of the report was helpful; however, he noted that it was difficult to know if reserve projects were more or less important to those on the main list.

Members felt that inspections and surveys were vital as a continued need and therefore needed to be on the main list. Members were advised that this need would be escalated up.

A Member (London Council for Recreation and Sport) was concerned that there was a build-up of projects and maintenance running behind schedule which all needed prioritising and worried that there was not sufficient capital to carry out this necessary work.    

A Member noted that the Men’s Toilets desperately required work and were regularly complained about by the public. The Superintendent confirmed that work to the toilets would go ahead this year.

RESOLVED – That:-

·         Members of the Hampstead Heath Consultative Committee, the Highgate Wood Consultative Group and the Queen’s Park Consultative Group note the report and provide feedback on the provisional list of cyclical projects being considered for the Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood and Queen’s Park Division in 2020/21;

·         The views of the Hampstead Heath Consultative Committee, the Highgate Wood Consultative Group and the Queen’s Park Consultative Group be conveyed to the Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood & Queen’s Park Committee.
