Decisions:
Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services regarding the transformation of Hampshire’s Country Parks.
A presentation was received setting out the opportunity that the transformation programme had given, the focus on self-sustainability, the process of change and key successes around the use of technology and the development of the catering offer.
The report and presentation were welcomed and a number of points discussed. There was support for the commercial opportunities presented in the parks and it was felt that the parking charge was akin to an entry price to the facilities available and should be set accordingly. It was confirmed that following the completion of transformation a long-term business case for the parks, to include maintenance and future investment requirements would be developed.
The recommendations in the report were proposed and agreed and the decision record can be found as an appendix to these minutes.
