to Executive Decision - Portfolio Holder for Customer and Community Services
Reasons for the decision
1. At its Annual Meeting, Council decided to
continue to meet virtually for all non-executive committees. The Leader of the
Council also decided that Cabinet should continue to meet virtually until
social distancing requirements had been removed. Therefore, the Portfolio
Holder for Customer and Community Services has made this decision taking into
account the views expressed by the wider cabinet membership.
2. A cultural strategy helps to increase the
opportunities of securing new investment into Dorset and maximise the leverage
value of the council’s own investment in arts, heritage and culture. This
cultural strategy will be the foundation on which Dorset Council will set its
own funding criteria, ensuring that all grant recipients are contributing to
the priorities and ambitions of the plan.
