The counal required us to d05e the F(KKI Mark& at jLSt three daw nctie in late March and would not
allow us to r￿open until 14th June. As fiKKI is an essential servi￿, could have remained owi. No

More flats have I￿en and continue to built kKalty, ueatiThJ more hxJsehc4ds and wple ne￿Ilr

sp￿, whith meant that space was inteJlWe￿ u￿. That was evident in the last year.
In December 2020, an instxtion the Trust (xJmmissti)ned on the ￿aY area, i(*ntified that the wcthen
supports to the tower of the big ￿lde were rotted. We cOntsCt￿ the council offering to pay a￿1 ￿king

months of emailiry seeking pemiisS￿ a￿1 receivirKJ no rth or rOies telling us that the Trust CC4Jldnt

the council and tis contrattor, which would imtyove management of the park. We hokE that the council
will come to Wdlue the fr￿, inforn￿l areas of the park as muth as the fomal sw)rts facil[b￿.
We have continued to invest in the path to make it an eni)yable pla￿ to Vi9t and improve its
biodiversity. We started planb.ng a rEw avenue of 30 Tillia Cordata (L￿ Limes) in autumn 2020 and
will comF4ete it in autumn this year. We the ￿antIng to make the watering in the first summer
more manageable and were Fleased that we had vthen V￿ eXrwi￿(￿ a lory, dry summer. We
planteyl large speamers to cy with the h&ivyi kK)bte￿ the park enj￿, which meant the
trees needed a lot of water.
We were successful in Funding applicatiors to. Haiiage of Lon(knn, which £lO,Cm, the

are an impKJrtant and muth-Eoved ￿ltage feature. The TrLsi s grateful to all the funders for their
support.
Our view of the park as a fr￿, putAK amty is still, s&JFy, rK)t sharExJ by ts courKil. We W￿￿
again dignayed WTr￿, c(Ysuliation, the C￿n(i1 dosoxl the r(th access through the rdilway

it is, of course, happening in the l(Kk(knwn, when the main of traffic, the spx)rts dubs are
closed. The tunnel closure will dwert more traffic thri)ugh the main public areas of the park induding the
Flver5ide Promenade.
We believe the fcot g is progres9rKJ, vAii(h is gcmxl nems a￿1 ￿￿elhIng the Tru* has l¢thied for over

The Charitys trustees are rewEtLle for the preparati￿ of the accounts. Tr Chari￿5 trustees consider
that an audr( is not required for this year (uth wticxi 43(2) of the Chariti￿ Act 1993 (the 1933 Att)
