This report advises the Nonsuch Park Joint Management Committee of the mid-year financial position for 2020/21 and the forecast outturn.

The Committee received a report advising the Nonsuch Park Joint Management Committee of the mid-year financial position for 2020/21 and the forecast outturn.

The Committee noted a verbal introduction from the Chief Accountant.

The following points were raised by Councillors:

a)            Income from fitness groups: Members noted that a number of fitness groups are still operating at Nonsuch Park, and that these in operation are still paying. Officers noted that they hope for this number to increase over the next few months dependant on Covid-19 restrictions. Rangers will be appointed to conduct rounds of the Park and hand out leaflets detailing the registration process to those groups who are yet to do so.

b)           Effects of Covid-19: Members noted the possible effects of Covid-19 with regards to the income and expenditure of the Nonsuch Park Joint Management Committee. It was noted that there was little change in terms of the Committee’s expenditure, as the maintenance of the grounds and Mansion house has had to continue.  The main area of expenditure increase was the additional cleaning of the public toilets and ensuring that they are Covid-secure. The main impact of higher income loss was from the Town and Country Show not going ahead.

Following consideration, it was resolved with 5 Members voting for and the Chair not voting that the Committee:

(1)      Noted the mid-year financial position.
