Minutes:
The Committee received a report presenting five-year park management/action plans for Long Grove Park and Poole Road Recreation Ground, and the results of the recent visitor surveys for both parks.
The following matters were considered:
a) Toilet facilities at Poole Road Recreation Ground. The Committee noted that responses received to the Pool Road visitor survey had included comments that visitors were uncertain of the availability of toilet facilities. Toilets were available at the Harrier Centre (located within the Recreation Ground) during it’s opening hours, and officers would consider whether this information could be included on park signage.
b) Café facilities in parks. The Committee noted that it had approved the recommendations of a report regarding the provision of café facilities in parks at a previous meeting. The Chairman would seek an update on this matter from the Head of Operational Services following the meeting, and communicate it to members of the Committee.
c) Annual review of Management Plans. The Committee requested that if approved, an annual review of the Management Plans be provided to it in January 2020.
Following consideration it was resolved:
(1) To receive and note the results of the visitor surveys for Long Grove Park and Poole Road Recreation Ground.
(2) To receive and approve the 2018-2023 park management plans and the actions set out for both Long Grove Park and Poole Road Recreation Ground, and that an annual review of progress against the plans would be provided to the Committee in January 2020.
