Issue - meetings

To consider the byelaws for Alexandra Park and Palace.

The Committee received the report of the Park Manager recommending that the Alexandra Park and Palace byelaws be reviewed.

Two Committee Members suggested that with current important projects taking place within the Park and Palace (such as the governance review) this was not the right time for a review of byelaws.  The General Manager highlighted that the process of reviewing the byelaws was not time consuming itself but the process of adopting them (and getting Secretary of State approval) may take some years to complete. The Committee noted issues such as bar-b-qs and filming and photography were prohibited under current byelaws and that the Park and Palace security contractors were tasked with enforcing the byelaws, therefore the review was relevant.

Other members of the Committee supported the review of the byelaws and the Chair suggested that further comments by Committee Members be emailed to the Park Manager.

RESOLVED that the report be noted and the Alexandra Palace and Park Board be asked to note the comments of the Consultative Committee.
