Colchester Borough Council awarded a contract to Counterculture LLP for the development of an overarching Cultural Strategy covering the remainder of the decade to 2030.

The strategy adopts a broad definition of culture, including arts, creative industries, heritage, and the public realm, with consideration of links to green spaces, tourism, and events.

It encompasses the full spectrum from established arts and culture to grassroots and community activity, assets, and aspirations across the Borough of Colchester.

The strategy will be developed in the context of existing Council strategic planning and that of partners including ACE, local NPOs, the Creative Colchester Partnership, the University of Essex, and the Colchester BID.

It aims to integrate with projects such as the Town Deal bid to the £3.6 billion Towns Fund and the Sport England Essex Local Delivery Pilot.

The strategy must reflect the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and incorporate actions to support sector recovery and present a positive vision for the post-Covid future of arts and culture in Colchester.

The contract value is AUD 19,500.
