To update the Conservators on the use of the Owners and Trainers and Derby Arms Car Parks by the Racecourse during 2024 and to formally request permission for ad-hoc use in 2025.

The Conservators received a report updating on the use of the Owners and Trainers and Derby Arms Car Parks by the Racecourse during 2024 and formally requesting permission for ad-hoc use in 2025.

a)            Trainers. A Member of the Conservators asked if Trainers had been asked directly if they have any problems. The Interim Assistant Head of Service Streetcare informed Conservators that Trainers had not been directly asked, but if there were any issues, they would have been made clear by now and addressed. The Chair noted that issues would have been raised at the Training Grounds Management Board meetings. A Member of the Conservators stated that there has been a reduction in the amount of use of the Trainers and Owners Car Park, and confirmed that any anxieties and issues with its use have been regularly raised  and acknowledged.

Following consideration, the Conservators unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Note the level of use by the Jockey Club of Car Parks 3 and 8 during 2024

(2)      To approve an application by the Jockey Club to use these cark parks during 2025 for ad-hoc events.
