Erection of a statue of Swami Vivekananda at Mile End Park PDF 190 KB The board will be asked to consider an application for the installation of a statue in Mile End Park from the Vivekanda Human Centre.
Decision: DECISION:
That the King George’s Field Charity Board requests a report is brought to a future meeting which:
1. Will allow the Board to review and if necessary amend, guidance on the placing of statues, plaques and other structures in Mile End Park and other land within its remit; and
2. Provides more detail on the proposal to erect a statue of Swami Vivekananda in Mile End Park, including the connection of Swami Vivekananda with the proposed site.
Action by: CORPORATE DIRECTOR CHILDREN’S SERVICES (D. Jones) (Stephen Murray –Head of Arts, Parks and Events). Minutes: Stephen Murray, Head of Parks and Events, introduced the report.
The Board noted the progress that had been made on this proposal, including discussions between the Swami Vivekananda Human Centre, Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Forum and Councillor Sirajul Islam. However, the Board noted that this decision would set a precedent for similar requests and felt that the level of detail in the report was insufficient to assess this request against the criteria for the placing of statues, plaques and other structures. It also suggested it may be appropriate for the Board, as the Trustee of the charity, to agree its own criteria for these types of requests.
RESOLVED:
