Issue - meetings

The Committee received the report of the Park Manager following the Board’s resolution that that the Alexandra Park and Palace byelaws be reviewed.  It was noted that the byelaws were out of date and that amendments would need to be approved by the Secretary of State before adoption by Alexandra Park and Palace.

The Committee suggested that other legislation should be considered as any recent changes might be relevant and noted that issues such as bar-b-qs and roller-skating might need to be included in the byelaws.  It was noted that byelaws could not include matters covered by primary legislation.

In response to its questions the Committee noted that in the past three years there had been no prosecutions for the breaching of the Park’s byelaws and that the work of the Park’s Security Team included enforcing the byelaws, requiring them to be reviewed.

RESOLVED

i.    That the issue of Alexandra Park and Palace Byelaws be considered at a future meeting of the Advisory Committee.

ii) That the Advisory Committee also considers Kenwood Park’s byelaws (reviewed in 1997 and issued in 2004) and provide comments in relation to Alexandra Park and Palace byelaws.
