Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk on the City of London Corporation’s Draft Sport and Physical Activity Strategy for 2020-25 (the Strategy). The Town Clerk highlighted the comments made by the committees which had previously received the report summarised in a document circulated to the Committee prior to the meeting.

It was noted by a Member that the Strategy needed to include adequate emphasis on the repair works for the existing facilities at the open spaces managed by the City of London Corporation. It was also noted that the open spaces outside of the City of London, including West Ham Park, should be appropriately recorded within the Strategy. Replying to this the Town Clerk confirmed that the inclusion of all the open spaces and the appropriate listing within the Strategy would be reviewed to provide the suitable emphasis.

In response to a query from a Member of the Committee the Town Clerk explained that the future governance of the Strategy and the membership of the Working Group had yet to be finalised.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
