  • Supporting Arts and Culture venues

    • Reference: 2020/2960
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    How are you supporting arts and culture venues that are not specifically recognised as leisure and hospitality venues? For example Storm Rehearsal Studios in my constituency face an uncertain future as they are not considered part of the leisure and hospitality sector. However the rules which their business is governed by are those relating to live performances. As such they are being charged business rates for periods they have been unable to open, making their financial position much more challenging.

    Research, including last year from the House of Commons Digital, Culture Media and Sport Committee, has found that schools are being forced to cut their cultural and arts programmes.

    Wealthier families are often able to provide extra-curricular access to cultural experiences for their children, but with UNISON estimating that, between April 2010 and April 2016, £387m was cut from youth service spending across the UK, children from less well off backgrounds are increasingly unable to access the same opportunities. How will your Borough of Culture help to create opportunities for young people where they live?
