APNews: As cash-strapped councils continue to reprioritise arts funding toward essential services, a new report reveals that less than half of England’s local authorities have a published cultural strategy on their website. 🧵 (1/5)

@DanielAshton @Makanani_b @unisouthampton (3/5) Researchers said they often struggled to locate and access strategies where available, while several had no publication date or indication of what time period they covered.

(2/5) Using council websites, researchers @DanielAshton and @Makanani_b from @unisouthampton found that of 332 English local authorities, 54% are not affiliated with a publicly available culture policy.

@DanielAshton @Makanani_b @unisouthampton (4/5) @SamaraJonesHall of @Five10Twelve said: "With the well-reported squeeze on council budgets, it is even more vital that culture's unique role in delivering across a wide range of socio-economic measures...is based on strong evidence, solid data and a coherent strategy"
