Senior representatives from London’s The Royal Parks are on the Island for the next couple of days touring the Wight and taking part in discussions with the Council’s Parks and Countryside Department on the formation of an official partnership.
Council staff will be taking the representatives to Fort Victoria Country Park, Ventnor Botanic Garden as well as along part of the Island’s coastal trail.
Well done to the team at the Council’s Parks and Countryside Department, who we know have been working hard to encourage this partnership for some time now.
With the weather as it is today and the Island looking at it’s best, we’re sure that they are going to be pretty awe-inspired with what the Island has to offer.
We understand that the touring party will be joined by Leader of the Council, David Pugh and Chief Executive, Steve Beynon to enjoy the delights of Alan Staley’s menu at The Royal Hotel today, all paid for by the Friends of the Ventnor Botanic Gardens – so at no cost to the tax payer.
Mark Camley, Chief Executive, The Royal Parks said:
“This is an excellent opportunity for The Royal Parks and Isle of Wight Council to share best practice, explore ways that we can work together in the future, and look to provide a better experience for our respective park visitors.”
