"Corporation officer Andrew Impey told a Hampstead Heath Consultative Committee meeting this week that the consultation has received thousands of responses with many more expected before it closes. He said as a result he anticipates it will take three or four weeks to analyse the feedback with a series of focus groups also planned. Mr Impey said he does not expect a final report on the future use of the ponds to go to the necessary Corporation committees until January."
"He added that it would be foolish and dangerous of me to commit to [a Committee meeting on] January 15 not knowing how long it's going to take to do that analysis, equally knowing we have to see the results of the six focus groups and how they relate to the data, the quantified data as well as the qualified data."
The City of London Corporation manages Hampstead Heath, which has three ponds: Highgate Men's, Kenwood Ladies' and a mixed area. Current policy allows trans men and trans women to use the pond of their choice. The consultation has received thousands of responses with more expected before it closes. Analysis of feedback will take three to four weeks and six focus groups are planned. A final report is not expected to reach the necessary Corporation committees until January, with the decision-making timetable not yet confirmed and potential legal proceedings complicating the process.
