Lincolnshire councils could bid for the county to take part in the 2029 City of Culture, documents have revealed.
The document aims to line up all the cultural offerings across the council areas, guide applications for investment and funding and help support environmental sustainability.It said: “As a sub-region our partnership has agreed to come together with Lincoln and North East Lincolnshire to develop a bold, ambitious, countywide proposition which will seek to create significant longer term impact on Lincolnshire, its arts infrastructure, communities and visitors alike.
East Lindsey District Council did not provide further details by the time of publication. Despite revealing the bid for the first time in its document, the authority said the City of Lincoln Council was leading on the project. “One component of this is a collective ambition for city of culture, as multiple destinations are able to apply.”Approving the cultural framework overall on Wednesday, rural economy portfolio holder Councillor Adam Grist praised the report for “waving together all the good work that’s taking place in both culture and heritage in the visitor economy” across the districts.
