Main Report 2 On 4 August 2009, the Policy and Strategy Committee considered the attached report by the Director of Services for Communities setting out the finalised Parks Events Manifesto for the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links. 3 The Manifesto established a set of requirements unique to the area and which was intended to provide a framework for achieving a balanced and sustainable events programme on the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links, whilst ensuring the quality of the land was maintained to the highest standard possible. Councillor Rose was heard as a local ward member Deputation 4 The Committee heard a deputation from Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links who spoke on behalf of a range of users of the area. The deputation were of the view that the proposed Manifesto did not respond to the long term basic concerns about the deteriorating condition of the Meadows and urged the Committee: (a) in relation to the Manifesto’s eight key principles for determining the granting and management of events: e to amend Principle 1 to set the maximum limit for events at 2 weeks 0 to reconsider Principle 2 relating to rest periods between events 0 to set a limit on the number of permitted events per year; (b) to give further consideration to the representations made by consultees; and (c) to ensure that the Manifesto conformed to the principles and aims of the Council’s Parks and Gardens Strategy on sustainable green space stewardship. Decision 5 The Policy and Strategy Committee agreed to refer the report to the Council for consideration. Recommendation 6 That the Council considers the attached report by the Director of Services for Communities on the Parks Events Manifesto for The Meadows and Bruntsfield Links.

Main report The report titled ’Revised Arrangements for Events Management’ that was agreed at the 12 May 2009 meeting of the Policy & Strategy Committee, sought ‘to re-confirm the Council’s aspirations for Edinburgh not only to sustain its position as a leading events and festivals city but also to enhance that status.’ Events put the city onto the national and international stage and present it as an attractive place to live, to visit, to study in and to invest in. The events and festivals market has suffered less than other sectors of the economy in the current recession and can be a powerful draw in attracting visitors to Edinburgh, especially given present currency exchange rates. Most events require to be sited on the city’s streets and/or its parks and greenspaces. The parks and greenspaces which are currently in the greatest demand for events are strategic sites such as Princes Street Gardens, the Meadows, Calton Hill and Holyrood Park. Council officers are actively marketing the varied range of event venues within Edinburgh. Negotiations with event organisers have resulted in three events originally scheduled to take place in the Meadows in 2009 being relocated to alternative venues. Agreement was reached to site the Moonwalk and the Taste of Edinburgh events in lnverleith Park and to move the start and finish of the Great Edinburah Run to Georae IV Bridae. 1 2.3 This report seeks to establish a set of requirements that provide a framework on which a balanced and sustainable events programme can be achieved on the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links, whilst ensuring the quality of the land is maintained to the highest standard possible. 2.4 The finalised Meadows and Bruntsfield Links Manifesto is outlined in Appendix 1. The principles and measures detailed in the Manifesto have been determined following consultation with stakeholders - including community representative organisations, user groups and event organisers. Consultation comments are detailed in Appendix 2. The Manifesto also recognises the Edinburgh Public Parks and Gardens Strategy adopted by The City of Edinburgh Council on 23 March 2006. This designated the Meadows as a “Premier Park and as such recognises the strategic position that the Meadows holds to host city events 2.5 The Manifesto uses eight key principles; the first five determine whether an event will be given permission for siting on the Meadows, and the following three are aimed at the successful management of an agreed event: Determining Principles: 0 Control the total number of days of occupation for an event on any site Schedule turf rest periods between events 0 Control the total number of ’Major Events’ per year 0 Define the capacity of each event site and suggest appropriate types of uses for each venue 0 Set an appropriate limit for private events. Managing Principles: Control vehicle use and access 0 Impose appropriate conditions on event activities and placement of infrastructure to be monitored and assessed Require contingency plans to be put in place and form part of event lease agreements. 2.6 Once established across all the city’s parks and greenspaces, these eight principles will help the Council decide the most suitable park locations for events and how they should be managed in order to minimise damage to the fabric of any park hosting an event. It will encourage event organisers to consider a far wider choice of parks and greenspaces than occurs at present; give scope for new venues to host high quality events; ensure that events are spread more equitably across the city’s network of parks and greenspaces; and seek to limit the potential conflicts with other park users (e.g. sporting or recreational). 3 Financial Implications 3.1 It is acknowledged that continued regular use of the Meadows for major events has an impact on the park surface, sub-structure and infrastructure. The proposals contained in this report carry no direct financial implications. 2 However, a further report will be presented regarding potential investment in improved surfacing and infrastructure. This is currently under investigation. 3.2 Some of this investment may be recouped by increasing the level of charges to event organisers to a level that better reflects the quality of facility available. A new corporate charging regime will be the subject of a future report. 4 Environmental Impact 4.1 The introduction of an Edinburgh Parks Events Manifesto will have a positive effect on the city’s environment, by introducing a sustainable approach to planning events in Edinburgh’s parks and greenspaces. Specifically, the introduction of a Parks Events Manifesto for the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links will help safeguard this special place for current users and future generations. 5 Recommendations 5.1 It is recommended that the Committee: a) Approves the finalised Parks Events Manifesto for the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links; b) Notes that this will form part of the city-wide Parks Events Manifesto to be presented to the Committee by October 2009: c) Notes a future report will be presented on improving the surfacing and infrastructure of the Meadows.

    Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organization (SCIO) SC045955 N E W S L E T T E R 47 Autumn 2017 Editor's comment Your new Convener As you will all know by now, at the Annual General Meeting on 23 June a new Convener was elected: Andy Devenport very kindly agreed to accept the poisoned chalice. There is so much to do, and so little time to do it in, and Andy has a full-time job as well as various other voluntary commitments, but there is no one who is more familiar with the Meadows and Links than he is, since he has lived here since he was a child, and it is great that he has taken over from me, who only came to Scotland from 'down south' in 2003. At the AGM we also welcomed several new Trustees, enlarging our geographical remit to include members of Community Councils at the eastern end of the Meadows, and so enabling us to be fully representative of the whole area. Park Rangers We work together with the Park Rangers to do voluntary work, and were distressed when their number was cut from three to two in the Meadows and Links. At our August work party Jimmy Forrest did sterling work with us tidying up the area around the Croquet Pavilion, which we took further at the end of September, sadly without him. Jimmy is now in the Royal Infirmary after a motorbike accident. We have sent messages to him wishing for a good recovery, but it seems that this will take many months.

The Act makes provision for the designation of conservation areas as distinct from individual buildings, and planning authorities are required to determine which parts of their areas merit conservation area status. There are currently 39 conservation areas in Edinburgh, including city centre areas, Victorian suburbs and former villages. Each conservation area has its own unique character and appearance. Character Appraisals The protection of an area does not end with conservation area designation; rather designation demonstrates a commitment to positive action for the safeguarding and enhancement of character and appearance.

Early Golf in Scotland The modern game of golf we understand today is generally considered to be a Scottish invention. A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said "Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries, but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland." The word golf, or in Scots language gouf, is usually thought to be a Scots alteration of Dutch "colf" or "colve" meaning "stick, "club", "bat", itself related to the Proto-Germanic language *kulth- as found in Old Norse kolfr meaning "bell clapper", and the German Kolben meaning "mace or club".The Dutch term Kolven refers to a related sport.

    Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organization (SCIO) SC045955 N E W S L E T T E R 46 Summer 2017 Convener’s Comment Events on the Meadows We were alarmed to discover that this year the Urban Circus (Underbelly) have managed to secure a three-year contract for a pitch on the Meadows during the Fringe lasting 33 days in all, in spite of the Council's consultations last year showing that 60% of local residents thought that the present length of events was 'too long' - this before it was actually extended to a period longer than ever before. Although this particular show seems to be of high quality, this does not alter the fact that it contains large and heavy plant that would be better on a hard-standing surface. Members may care to inspect the site, which still shows signs of wear and tear from last year. Some of the furrows are due to the underlying drainage structures, but others show the impact of large vehicles. We continue to campaign for events on the Meadows to last only 15 days, as in other Edinburgh parks, which gives the grass a chance to regrow instead of having to be re-seeded. For comparison, have a look at the south part of the 'events site', which hosted a funfair for only a fortnight, and has recovered well. Toilets Yes, it does seem absurd, doesn't it, that in this day and age we should be lobbying for decent toilets on the Meadows! You may remember a year or two ago several public toilets in the city were closed, but although the few we still have were also threatened, we managed to save them, by persistent campaigning.
