Delivering this strategy and achieving our five key themes can only be achieved by working closely with our partners in the public, private and voluntary sector. Some of these partnerships already exist and need to be strengthened, while others may need to be created.
In particular, the contribution that the voluntary sector makes to culture in Thanet cannot be under-estimated. Through the area’s strong network of voluntary groups and organisations, local people and visitors can enjoy opportunities for lifelong learning and become involved with a range of cultural offerings. The co-ordination by the voluntary sector of their activities is an essential component of maximising their contribution.
Consultation will play an important role in delivering this strategy. Young people have already been asked about improvements to services targeted at them and a similar exercise is due to be undertaken with our older residents. The Council will also be consulting on how it can reduce the impact it has on the environment and residents can also expect to be asked about issues that matter to them. Increasing opportunities for local people to engage in decision making is an important element of the Council’s Corporate Plan.
This strategy will sit alongside others that are currently being developed by Thanet District Council – for example, youth, economic growth and regeneration strategies, visitor economy, sports, arts and play development plans will all inter-relate with the Cultural Strategy and will seek to develop further some of the themes set out in this strategy.
