The Cultural Quarter Projects Director is leading the current review of Events and Festivals.

As this review has elements common to both this Commission and the Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Scrutiny Commission, it is recommended that a presentation be made jointly to both Commissions that will enable them to consider the options and proposals arising from the review that are forming the basis of public consultation.  This will enable Members to gain an understanding of the review from each Commission’s perspective and to focus scrutiny of the review accordingly.

Members are recommended to endorse this approach and to agree that a joint presentation be held when appropriate.
