This week, we’ve taken our work on cultural devolution right into the heart of government — submitting formal evidence to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s consultation on the new English Devolution & Community Empowerment Bill, now moving through the UK Parliament.

We share a readout from a high-level meeting with local and combined authorities officers across England exploring how ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ tier authorities already collaborate to support the creative, cultural and heritage ecosystem in their regions.
