CEO's update report PDF 257 KB To update the SAC/CC on Alexandra Palace activities (including events, car parking, colour strategy, and park monitoring information)
Minutes: The CEO introduced the report and invited Member comments. The following was noted:
Governance
The CEO informed that the Governance Project Group had met several times and a briefing note was being prepared for Councillors, which would also be circulated to Members of the SAC/CC. Post meeting note: Update circulated to SAC/CC members by email in August.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) presence
The CEO informed that the Trust had been working closely with the LFB to put in place new temporary water supply measures following the corrosion of fire main pipework. In the event of an incident at the Palace and Park, the LFB had confirmed they were satisfied that they would be able to provide an adequate response. A long term solution would be addressed at a later date.
Responding to a question, the CEO informed that the Trust was not expecting a written report from LFB. The Trust keeps its own records. As well as ensuring the safety of staff, visitors and the building the exercise provided the Trust’s insurers that the Trust was actively managing and mitigating risks, which would benefit insurance premiums in the long term.
Park Update
In preparation for a likely increase in littering around the park during the upcoming summer months new signage was to be installed around the Palace and Park to discourage littering. The CEO sought Resident Association’s to do all they could to discourage residents not to litter or fly tip in the Park.
Regarding the ongoing work to tackle Oak Processionary Moth, Members noted it would be helpful if the Alexandra Palace website had images of what people should be looking out for. Post meeting note: leaflet about the moths was circulated to SAC/CC in July.
Responding to a question on litter collections, the CEO informed that the Trust had a limited budget for this and additional litter collections were scheduled for the summer months when litter around the Park increased. Litter collection rotas were changed, depending on the events on site so that certain areas, such as the children’s playground or heavily littered areas could be prioritised.
Future use of the deer enclosure had not been decided and the area would remain as it currently was, with the gate closed for the safety of park users while the grass area recovered from deer grazing. Post meeting note – the area is being used for outdoor activities as par of the creative learning programme.
Responding to a question on the potential for fires in the Park, the CEO confirmed that there were regular patrols and that the team were vigilant, particularly during the warmer weather. The CEO noted that local users of the Park had been robust in keeping the Trust informed of any fire outbreaks. Members were encouraged to contact the Trust’s security or visitor services team on 020 8365 2121 if they spotted any fires within the Park.
The Trust intends to highlight the leaving of household rubbish by park neighbours by putting hazard tape around it ... view the full minutes text for item 137. |

Minutes: The CEO introduced this report, which sought the Joint SAC/CC’s comments on the public consultation relating to Ward Boundaries and the potential impact this might have on the SAC membership.

The following was raised:
RESOLVED

Non-Voting Board Members feedback Minutes: The non-voting Board Members highlighted that a discussion had been had on the overall business performance of the Palace and Park. This had shown a positive performance but competition for events meant there was no room for complacency. The opening of the theatre had not only improved the business aspects of the Palace but improved its reputation. The Board had praised the Trust team for their work. |
