When I started working in theatre in the late 90's, each Council had an Arts Development Dept with a team & budget. Without that, I reckon 80% of my work would not have been possible. This keeps WC Artists out & breaks Article 27 of the Human Rights Act!
‘A national emergency’: UK theatres fear closure after more local funding cuts theguardian.com/culture/2024…

Local gov more trusted and seen to have almost as much impact on daily life as national government, finds new polling from @lgcplus.
Echoes findings in our polling last year - councils more trusted than national gov (although local community came top) newlocal.org.uk/articles/new…

#CommunityPower is trapped in an impossible situation, whereby our Treasury-dominated national policymaking process requires it to prove its worth according to measures that are not set up to recognise its value…
Community power produces far-ranging benefits.
But an ‘evidence paradox’, hard-wired into our policy-making system, is holding back its potential.

They had a choice to deny interest on bank balances that commercial banks only have with the government because new money was created during recent crises, or to pay workers decent living wages and preserve the NHS. They chose bankers. And that is unforgivable.
