Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2.

The town is already home to more than 13,000 places of work, which collectively employ a total of 141,000 people. Croydon has been dubbed the Silicon Valley of South London thanks to the proliferation of technology companies here, while other sectors include financial services and engineering. More than 20,000 further jobs are set to be created over the next few years, thanks to the redevelopment of the area which includes office accommodation, retail, restaurant and leisure space. Croydon’s redevelopment also includes major investment in its schools, with additional plans to partner with an international university to enhance its higher education presence.

Both will respond to the current challenges and opportunities for these areas and build on the strengths and achievements. This report outlines current provision as a background report to the SWOT analysis presented at committee and sets out the draft priority themes of both plans. 2 A cultural plan for Croydon 2.1 The support of culture in Croydon within the context of the regeneration taking place has been a priority over the last 3-5 years.

The development of a Cultural Plan for the Borough is now timely, to build on this growing groundswell of activity and create a framework for activity for the next 5-10 years.
