This item presents the Joint Management Committee’s final accounts for the financial year 2024/25.

The Committee received a report presenting the Committee’s final accounts for the financial year 2024/25.

The Committee considered the following matters:

a)            Road Maintenance. In response to a question from a Member, the Assistant Head of Service (Streetcare) stated that it is challenging to predict costs for road maintenance within the Park due to the uncertain nature of when, where and how frequently potholes and other road related issues will arise.

b)            Memorial benches. In response to a question from a Member, the Interim Assistant Head of Service (Streetcare) stated that the memorial benches are bought-in as and when requests are made. She explained that there were two options available for a memorial bench – a bench in a dog-friendly area of the Park or in the formal gardens (though the formal gardens were currently at capacity). She explained an agreement for a bench lasts for 10 years, after which time an opportunity is provided to renew or for the bench to be collected.

Following consideration, the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)          Receive the final accounts for 2024/25.
