To receive the report of the Chief Executive, Alexandra Palace and Park.

RECEIVED the report of the Chief Executive, Alexandra Palace, which included an update on the major HLF grant submission for which the main text of the bid had been provided.

NOTED:

·          The HLF bid had now been submitted with letters of support from the Chairs of the Consultative and Statutory Advisory Committees.

·          The Joint Committee welcomed the approach taken in the submission and endorsed its support for the bid.

·          HLF representatives would visit the Palace during the 1^st week of February and the findings would be reported back to the main HLF Committee on 23 April.  The outcome of this meeting would be available approximately  a week after this date.

·          HLF support was usually provided for both building works and to support activities.  Generally the decision was based on how the building would be used once it was restored.

·          The Palace was due to submit another HLF bid for £80,000 over 4 years to support the learning programmes and the appointment of a ‘Learning Officer’.  Further detail would be provided at the next meeting.

RESOLVED to note the report.
