To provide comment and inform the development of BRIEF FOR the Culture Plan and a Libraries Plan for Croydon THE Council. COMMITTEE: 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Both a Cultural Plan and a Libraries Plan are currently in development for Croydon and due to be agreed at the May Cabinet later this year. 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 focus during that time has been on activity; the major redevelopment of the Fairfield Halls and securing an operator for its future, on supporting the cultural sector in Croydon and creating opportunities for it to grow, on the consolidation and development of a calendar of cultural events and on building partnerships both in and outside of the borough. 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.
