19 STRATEGIC EVENTS AND FESTIVALS PROGRAMME PDF 73 KB
Report by Executive Director – Community Services

Minutes:
A report requested by the Executive to address issues raised by Members about the impact and benefits of Major Events and Festivals funding in Argyll and Bute over the last 5 years and for the future was considered. There is no Events and Festivals funding identified in the Council’s revenue budget from 2010/11 onwards and this report allows Members to consider the potential consequences of this on cultural tourism within the area. The report also proposes a list of strategic events which generate significant economic benefit and would be placed on a more stable financial position if the Council could provide them with core revenue funding support.
Decision
Agreed to refer consideration of this item to the budget process.
