Culture, tourism and sport
Tourism infrastructure, investment in culture and a vibrant local sports scene all help deliver on economic development, public health and community cohesion.
How we support culture, tourism and sport
The LG Group lobbies on your behalf for:
- councils to be recognised as the principal deliverer of culture, tourism and sport services
- the regulatory and cost burdens on councils to be minimised
- the benefits of the 2012 Games to be spread throughout the UK, through the involvement of local government
- licensing fees to be set locally.
We can help you through:
- peer reviews based on the culture and sport improvement toolkit
- other direct support from member and officer peers with relevant expertise and experience.
