    Southampton UK City of Culture Bid Joint Committee 10 February

    Item 12 Report to the Partnership for South Hampshire Joint Committee Date: 10 February 2020 Report of: Sandy Hopkins, Chief Executive - Southampton City Council Carolyn Abel, Head of Culture - Southampton City Council Subject: SOUTHAMPTON BID FOR UK CITY OF CULTURE DESIGNATION 2025 SUMMARY Joint Committee will receive a verbal presentation outlining work around UK City of Culture 2025. Established in 2013, UK City of Culture is a national designation awarded every four years to a city for one year. Administered by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, it builds on the success of Liverpool as European City of Culture in 2008 which brought significant economic and social benefits to the area. The aim of the initiative is to deliver a step change and transformation in the winning city’s strategic ambitions through multi-stakeholder collaboration. At Southampton City Council’s Annual General Meeting on 15 May 2019, a joint motion pledged to work together with stakeholders to bid for UK City of Culture in 2025 on behalf of our all communities to realise the economic and social potential of our places, and to encourage their involvement in shaping our villages, towns, cities and the region as a whole. The national evidence shows that when Culture in its broadest sense is truly part of the mix it contributes to delivering sustainable economic, social, health and wellbeing outcomes. These include: boosting civic pride, identity and community cohesion; supporting social, health and wellbeing benefits; attracting significant inward investment; creating new jobs, skills and learning opportunities; boosting the visitor and wider economy; developing the creative industries and artistic talent; and in the long term, better alignment of resources and partnership working to benefit residents, visitors and businesses.

    Derry/Londonderry City of Culture 2013 – Support from Belfast City for the Derry City Council Bid

    Belfast City Council Report to: Strategic Policy and Resources Committee Subject: Derry/Londonderry City of Culture 2013 – Support from Belfast City for the Derry City Council Bid Date: 23 April 2010 Reporting Officer: John McGrillen, Director of Development ext. 3470 Contact Officer: John McGrillen, Director of Development ext. 3470 Relevant Background Information In July 2009, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport launched a national competition to find the UK’s first City of Culture. The winning city will become the focus for national attention in 2013 and could become the focus of high profile media events, such as the Turner prize, Sports Personality of the Year and the RIBA Stirling Prize, as part of their year in the spotlight. The successful host city will be provided with the title of UK City of Culture for 2013, with scope to tailor the UK City of Culture brand to meet the needs of that city. On 24th February, 2010 the Culture Minister, Margaret Hodge, announced that 4 cities had been short-listed from the 14 bidders; they are Birmingham, Derry/Londonderry, Norwich and Sheffield. The deadline for full and final bid documentation from the short-listed cities is the end of May. During the summer, the advisory panel tasked with selecting the winning bid will receive presentations from the short-listed cities and will make their final recommendation to the Secretary of State by the end of the summer. In order to maximise the potential of producing a winning bid Derry City Council is seeking the support of the 25 other local authorities in Northern Ireland.

    POLICY BRIEFING UK City of Culture programme - history and update as Hull wins the 2017 title Author: Marion Catlin LGiU associate Date: 27 November 2013 Summary • This briefing covers the result of the UK City of Culture competition including background to the competition and essential information about likely impact and legacy both of winning and of losing the competition. • In 2002-3, the department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) ran a competition to choose a city as the UK representative in the European Capital of Culture year that was designated to a UK city in 2008. • It was decided, (following a suggestion by Secretary of State for Culture Andy Burnham and Phil Redmond), to set up a UK-wide version of the City of Culture title, given that it will not be until 2023 that another UK city will be able to become European Capital of Culture because of the number of new and accession states joining the European Union. • The UK City of Culture competition was inaugurated in 2010 and Derry/ Londonderry was chosen, from a shortlist of four cities (Norwich, Birmingham and Sheffield as well as Derry/Londonderry) for the (current) 2013 year. The competition runs every three years and therefore the next UK City of Culture year is 2017. Hull has just been announced as the winner for 2017. • This briefing will be of interest to councillors and officers leading on the arts and tourism and the economic impact of the arts and to partner arts organisations. Briefing in full The roots of the UK City of Culture competition are to be found in the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) programme (originally European City of Culture) which has © Local Government Information Unit, www.lgiu.org.uk, Third Floor, 251 Pentonville Road, London N1 9NG.

As you will know, big changes have had to be made in our governing documents, largely to accommodate the legacy left to the Group by Rob Holloway. One other aspect of Rob’s generosity was his massive collection of rocks. Jon Radley and I have been working our way through this to produce a manageable collection for the Group, but also to offer to schools and colleges to assist with their teaching. Should you be aware of any teaching institutions at whatever level that might benefit from such a rock collection, please let me know. I remarked in the last Newsletter that the conservation work on the Kenilworth cutting exposure had made good progress during the early part of last summer. However, this is a project where we can’t work at our own pace. It forms part of a much larger Sustrans cycle route scheme where many partners are involved – the County Council, ecology groups, community groups as well as Sustrans. Each have their priorities, not least financial, and so, inevitably, progress can be slow. Nevertheless, the County have recently cut down some of the small trees which obscured the geology and this should allow us to move back on to the site once the various protected animals are ‘on the move’.

    Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Haworth Tompkins

    Conservation Management Plan For The National Theatre Final Draft December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Final Draft - December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Ltd 19-20 Great Sutton Street London EC1V 0DR Front Cover: Haworth Tompkins Ltd 2008 Theatre Square entrance, winter - HTL 2008 Foreword When, in December 2007, Time Out magazine celebrated the National Theatre as one of the seven wonders of London, a significant moment in the rising popularity of the building had occurred. Over the decades since its opening in 1976, Denys Lasdun’s building, listed Grade II* in 1994. has come to be seen as a London landmark, and a favourite of theatre-goers. The building has served the NT company well. The innovations of its founders and architect – the ampleness of the foyers, the idea that theatre doesn’t start or finish with the rise and fall of the curtain – have been triumphantly borne out. With its Southbank neighbours to the west of Waterloo Bridge, the NT was an early inhabitant of an area that, thirty years later, has become one of the world’s major cultural quarters. The river walk from the Eye to the Design Museum now teems with life - and, as they pass the National, we do our best to encourage them in. The Travelex £10 seasons and now Sunday opening bear out the theatre’s 1976 slogan, “The New National Theatre is Yours”. Greatly helped by the Arts Council, the NT has looked after the building, with a major refurbishment in the nineties, and a yearly spend of some £2million on fabric, infrastructure and equipment.
