To consider the report of the Head of Economy and Tourism - report circulated

Councillor Coates declared a personal interest as a member of the Exeter Arts Council.

The Head of Economy and Tourism presented the report, which provided an update on the implementation of the Arts and Media Strategy Action Plan.  The report contained a summary of the focus over the last year and the ongoing development of partnership working with a range of organisations.  The report also referred to the significant grant of core funding made to collectively sustain those organisations and keep up the basic level of activity.
