PEOPLE in West Yorkshire have been asked to help develop the region’s culture, heritage and sport offer.
Residents are being asked to share their personal views and experiences to help shape a new programme which will develop the arts, culture, heritage and sport in the region.
Plans for a Public Engagement on the Culture, Heritage and Sport Framework were approved at a meeting of West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Culture, Heritage and Sport Committee.
The approval means that from this week people can give their opinions and contribute to the framework’s final content and remit via an online platform.
‘Beautiful and brilliant’ Bradford named UK City of Culture 2025
The draft framework is part of the Mayor’s pledge to lead a Creative New Deal to ensure creative industries are part of the broader post-covid recovery strategy.
Commenting, the Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin, said: “There is no doubt that the arts, culture, heritage and sport bring so much joy to so many people in our region. They improve our mental and physical wellbeing, create jobs, grow our economy, and attract talented people and businesses to our region.”
The engagement event continues until 18 September.
People can contribute and share their views via the Your Voice platform. To learn more, visit https://www.yourvoice.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/csf
