It is a joint initiative by National and Local Government to promote and strengthen the cultural sector with local and regional strategies. At a local level, Bournemouth Borough Council is co-ordinating the
development of a local Cultural Strategy which will have strong links to Bournemouth’s Community Plan.

Targets in the Community Plan related to cultural activity are included in this Strategy too. As with the Community Plan, the objectives and targets need to involve the whole community if they are to be achieved.
