"Unacceptable" cuts to budgets on Hampstead Heath have been slammed by members of a Heath committee.
A decision made by the City of London Corporation (CoLC) chamberlain to cut budgets by £1.6m was heavily criticised this week by the Heath committee, particularly in light of more people than ever before using the green space amid the pandemic.
CoLC figure Karina Dostalova even said the combination of a 12 per cent cut to the Heath, Highgate Wood and Queen's Park superintendent's budget with a 50pc cut to the cyclical works programme (CWP) was "outrageous".
