Issue - meetings

To receive the report of the Park Manager, Alexandra Palace and Park.

Mark Evison – Park Manager, Alexandra Palace and Park – introduced the report as set out.

NOTED:

·               The draft Alexandra Park Design Guide was attached as Appendix 1 of the report.  This guide would help to improve quality and maintain consistency of the park furniture.

·               Mark Evison provided the following responses to questions:

-       Whilst the benches could not be made vandal-proof, the use of thinner slats could help to prevent vandalism.

-       It would be possible to provide wire mesh bins for overflow when the park was particularly busy – Mark Evison agreed to look into this.

ACTION: Mark Evison

·               Members asked whether a colour scheme had been adopted for the palace.  Duncan Wilson advised that the final decision was about to be made on the shade of green paint for the colonnade.  Some members expressed an interest in seeing the colour choice before the final decision was made.  Duncan Wilson asked that those members contact him in the next couple of days to arrange a visit.

RESOLVED to note the report.
