Report DRR16/036

The report updated Members on progress achieved with both the Improvement Scheme and the Sustainable Regeneration Plan for Crystal Palace.

The cost of conservation work to the Grade 1 listed Iguanodon was due, in part, to the specialist materials required to underpin and preserve the dinosaur for many years to come.  Funding was obtained via the GLA with work being carried out on the remaining dinosaurs and regeneration of the park being undertaken in due course. 

Access works for the pedestrian walkway on the Southwark side of the park would be funded partly by Southwark Council.  Bromley’s successful grant application to Historic England enabled conservation work on the South Terrace Steps to be carried out.

The Portfolio Holder expressed his gratitude to Lydia Lee, Community Development Manager and all Renewal and Regeneration Officers involved in pushing this project through and for the professional way in which the structure for management had been set up.

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
