Report of the Director of Culture, Heritage & Libraries (copy attached).

The Governors considered a report of the Director of Culture, Heritage & Libraries on the City of London’s Cultural Strategy. The aim of the Strategy was to present a coherent overview of the City’s hugely important contributions to the life of London and the nation around culture and heritage, with development plans that could be monitored.

The Chairman pointed out that the City Corporation wished to emphasise its cultural contribution to London and the nation. Increasing collaboration with various City-related cultural bodies was consequently an important activity.

A discussion took place and it was pointed out that the Strategy was setting a direction of travel and that the various strands would be developed and progressed in the future.

RESOLVED – That Governors note and endorse the City of London Cultural Strategy 2012 – 2017.
