2] ON THE CONSULTATION
A spokesperson for the City of London Corporation, which manages Hampstead Heath as a registered charity, said:
“We recognise the sensitivity and complexity of this issue and await the outcome of the permission hearing.
“Like many organisations, we are reviewing our access rules to ensure they remain fair, lawful and respectful in light of the recent Supreme Court ruling and evolving Equality and Human Rights Commission guidance.
“Our recent public consultation will inform this review, with feedback now being independently analysed and will be published in due course.
“The current arrangements will remain in place until our committee Members review the findings and make a final decision, whilst also taking into account our legal and regulatory duties, equality impacts, safeguarding responsibilities, and practical enforcement needs.
“Our priority is to provide a safe and respectful environment for all users.”
