PARKLIFE 2019

HPECCG MEETING

1st April 2019

/Changes and Developments for 2019

Introduction:

Kate Richards – CIT Operations Manager

Ben Turner - Community Trust Fund Manager

/CIT Overview

Since CIT was set up in 2015 it has had great overall

success in reducing the impact in many surrounding

areas in and around Heaton Park.

However we appreciate there are still some areas that we

need to focus on to ensure improvements are seen in

2019.

This year on top of the existing CIT infrastructure/

resources that are already in place we have drawn up an

Action Plan to deal with the problem areas and look to

improve them this year.
