A representative of the Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration (copies of which had been circulated) requesting the Area Committee to consider an application for a Picnic in the Park even at Crescent Park on Sunday 6 September 2015.

Councillors discussed the appropriateness of events being held in Crescent Park given the size and location of the Park. They determined that in future, whilst considering applications each on their own merit, the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration be requested to encourage applicants to ensure that their requests are sensitive both to the size of the park and on the potential impact that it may have on the local area.

RESOLVED – That the application for the use of Crescent Park for a Picnic in the Park Event on Sunday 6 September 2015 be approved.
