Respondent: The Theatres Trust

Object to inclusion of cultural facilities within this topic as it excludes cultural facilities from other strategic areas of Core Strategy. Cultural facilities include libraries, art galleries, cinemas and theatres which are utilised by residents.

Policy to promote tourist facilities and growth of tourist industry can support inclusion of theatre use and a concentration of cultural facilities and activities can act as magnet for visitors and provide a significant boost to local economy. However, cultural facilities should not be confined to one topic but should be included in matters concerning community facilities.
