The Council has secured grant funding of
£15,000 from Arts Council England to support work to prepare
a Creative and Cultural Strategy and Implementation Plan for
Tendring. Black Radley has been selected and appointed (subject to
contract) via a competitive process in line with established
procurement protocols, to undertake this work. The primary focus of
this commission is to develop a five year Strategy and costed
Implementation Plan that specifically targets business growth and
job creation within the broad range of economic activity that
collectively defines the Creative and Cultural Sector. The Creative
and Cultural Strategy will integrate with other plans and
strategies of the Council, and with those of public sector
partners, specifically where these focus on resolving issues of
social and economic deprivation. The Strategy will enrich the
creative and cultural offer of the district, and increase the
opportunities for informal participation amongst residents and
visitors alike.
