The consultation has now been analysed, and a summary is
available below.
Overall, we had 326 responses through the survey, in depth
responses submitted by individuals and organisations and other
feedback through consultation events. The bulk of the response
endorsed the overall direction proposed by the Green Paper for
Culture. There was also a wealth of ideas, offers of support and
suggestions which are being incorporated in the plans for the White
Paper.
Timetable
The time table for producing a White Paper has shifted slightly.
We are now working towards issuing the White Paper in the
autumn.
Why are we producing a White Paper for Culture?
Our rich cultural heritage and strong sense of identity provide
amazing opportunities to make Cornwall a great place to live, visit
or invest. As the second largest unitary authority in England, and
the largest employer in Cornwall, we have a responsibility to
provide strategic leadership, using our power, resource and
influence to protect and grow Cornwall’s cultural assets. This
leadership will become more critical as we ride out a period of
recession and public sector funding cuts. But even with strong
leadership, we cannot protect or develop the cultural assets of
Cornwall alone. We need the cultural sector, community and
stakeholders to pull together to address the key challenges and to
make the most of new opportunities.
The Green Paper for Culture published in September 2010 set out
the rationale and framework for a five year culture programme for
Cornwall, inviting comment from funding partners, the cultural
sector (organisations and individuals), businesses and the wider
community. With your responses and ideas we can now set about
putting together some specific proposals for Cornwall that are
likely to have widespread support which will be published in a
White Paper.
We are committed to working in partnership with the whole sector
and our communities to develop Cornwall’s cultural offer and
particularly value your contributions in helping to develop
definitive proposals and propositions.
This has been a significant opportunity to have your say in
expanding on Cornwall’s already rich cultural heritage and further
developing its strong sense of identity. We thank you again for
your contributions. If you would like further details please
