This report provides information to the Statutory Advisory and Consultative Committees on planning and policy issues in relation to Alexandra Park and Palace. It also provides additional information on the events programme and a range of activities of the Charitable Trust. Minutes: The Committee considered the CEO’s report and the following was raised: Park Update The Committee congratulated Mark Evison, Park Manager, for his work towards the park. The Committee asked whether there was evidence that the dog walkers’ trails had been used. The CEO responded that the trails had been regularly used and that representatives of the dog walking community had been involved in the planning. The purpose of the dedicated dog walking tracks was to change behaviour and encourage the picking up of dog waste, by naturally directing dog walkers on a route with regularly placed bins. Pavement Parking With regard to groups of drivers parking their vehicles on the pavements of Alexandra Palace Way in the evenings, the CEO sought feedback from the Committee on whether they had received any negative feedback from residents on this matter. The Committee confirmed that residents had complained of feeling unsafe and intimidated walking along this path. The CEO informed the Committee that the matter had been a problem in previous years but had become more prevalent. The police had been assisting, when they could, in helping to move on vehicles and had powers of enforcement that Alexandra Palace security did not have. The Committee queried whether the police had been paid for their services and were informed by the CEO that they had not asked for individual payment. The CEO further informed the Committee that the Trust was not able to clamp vehicles. Clamping on private land was made illegal in 2012. Whilst not in the report, the CEO provided a verbal update on the recent issue with travellers in the park. The CEO informed the Committee that, following representation to the High Court and then the County Court, the travellers had been removed from the Park. Additional security was hired to minimise waste and ensure that no toxic waste was left behind on their departure. East Wing Restoration Project The Committee praised the BBC Proms as being a terrific success and all the staff for their work in contributing to that success. The Committee queried how the Proms came to be held at the Alexandra Palace Theatre and what its future programme would be. The CEO informed that there was a 10-year strategic partnership with the BBC which set the foundations for the hosting of the event. Additionally, the event was successful in highlighting how the volunteer team worked alongside the employees of the Palace and resulted in more individuals volunteering. The Theatre had a programme of events commencing in December. Creative Learning The Committee noted that not all of the projects within the report had dates. The CEO informed that dates would be asked to be included in future reports wherever possible and advised that these would be reissued in the minutes. They are as follows: · BBC Proms Learning Event (Theatre) 1st December 2018 · Home for Christmas (part of the Christmas Carnival) 7th-16th Dec 2018 · Haringey Music Service 2nd December 2018 · Little Inventors (Interpretation ... view the full minutes text for item 103. |
