Is the Mayor’s Cultural Infrastructure Plan enough?

The creative industries in London alone generated £52.2billion gross value-added in 2017 ^[1] and account for one in six jobs in the capital ^[2]. London is world-renowned for its cultural offerings.

Safeguarding and supporting the culture and creative industries in London was one of the Mayor’s manifesto pledges. The Cultural Infrastructure Plan, published in March 2019, is said to be an action plan that sets out how cultural infrastructure is at risk in London, what can be done to safeguard it and crucially, how is performance being measured?

Tomorrow the London Assembly Regeneration Committee will look at the delivery of the Cultural Infrastructure Plan and the GLA spend on culture and creative industries.

The following guests will attend:

• Shonagh Manson, Assistant Director – Culture and Creative Industries, Greater London Authority.
• Cllr Matthew Bennett, Cabinet Member for Planning, Investment & New Homes, Lambeth

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 26 June at 2.00pm in the Chamber, City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).

Media and members of the public are invited to attend.

The meeting can also be viewed LIVE via the webcast and on our YouTube channel. Follow us @LondonAssembly and tweet about the meeting using #AssemblyRegen
