Decision details

Committee to consider a paper relating cultural activities in the borough.

The Commissioning Director, Children and Young People, introduced the item which related to promoting arts and culture in Barnet.

The Programme Director, Education and Learning, then provided further information on the report’s contents.

She stated that, given the Council’s resource limitation, she would investigate the possibility of additional funding (such as from the London Mayor’s Office) for arts and culture and share any information with the committee.

Following consideration of the item, the Chairman moved to the recommendations, which were unanimously agreed.

The following was therefore RESOLVED:

1.    That the Children, Education, Libraries and Safeguarding Committee noted what Barnet is doing to promote culture and arts in the borough.

2.    That the Children, Education, Libraries and Safeguarding Committee approved the approach for the development of a strategic framework for arts and culture in Barnet as set out in paragraph 1.24 and for the ongoing support for arts and culture as set out in paragraph 1.25.
