  • Cultural Activity Impact Report
    Cabinet 15 March 2017 Cultural Activity Impact Report Report of Corporate Management Team Ian Thompson, Corporate Director of Regeneration and Local Services Councillor Neil Foster, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Culture, Regeneration and Economic Development Purpose of the Report 1 The purpose of this report is to provide Members with an update on the County’s Cultural Programme and offer further insight into the value and impact of this vibrant and growing area which forms part of the Council’s economic planning. The report reflects on the recent achievements of the county wide programme and seeks support for future cultural activity. Background 2 The County’s cultural assets and creative output continue to grow. They now not only attract considerable visitors and inward investment but enhance the Council’s and County’s reputation on a local, regional, national and international level, with residents, visitors and investors alike. This continued growth has been the result of a number of factors including public, private and third sector’s collective ambition and investment in the value and impact of cultural activity. Growth through the Cultural sector continues to be part of the Council’s planning for regeneration and economic development. 3 For the County Council this has been through a renewed and supported ambition for culture since LGR that has grown out of the City of Culture ambition of 2009. This has seen the development of a thriving and vibrant programme delivered directly through the Council’s own programmes, as well as supporting, both financially and creatively, the wider sector to flourish and continue to build and reimagine the County’s cultural offer in a profound way.
