Your Outer London Fund document 'anticipates contribution' from among others, the arts and culture sector. Yet some outer London boroughs have recently eradicated culture funding in the belief 'a rich variety of arts provision, much of it free, just half an hour or so away on the tube' (Barnet), while the London Borough of Croydon has cut its cultural officers from 6 to 1. In a difficult climate of local government and Arts Council funding, do you believe the sector has the capacity to contribute as you envisage?
