Culture Devolution:
Hull UK City of Culture 2017 acted as the catalyst for long-term change, leading to large scale capital investment and revitalisation of the historic city’s architectural heritage, raising educational attainment, engaging with young people and communities with a focus on participation and inclusion; and galvanising Hull as Yorkshire’s Maritime City. The area is home to galleries and museums and Arts Council investment in national portfolio organisations, covering both urban and rural communities. Historic England have invested in buildings and spaces, including their Heritage Action Zones bringing new life to historic streets.
The Hull and East Yorkshire Devolution Deal commits to facilitating a deepening of the relationship between the cultural institutions of Hull and East Riding and the residents of the area, using a joined-up approach to ensure the area’s celebrated festivals, heritage sites and cultural anchor institutions receive national prominence and recognition as must-visit landmarks.
Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority and DCMS Arms Length Bodies will establish a collaborative partnership to share expertise and insight across (some or all of) culture, heritage, sport, communities and the visitor economy, in order to maximise the impact of funding and policy decisions taken within Hull and East Yorkshire by members of the partnership.
A key area of focus will be to share information on their priorities and plans across relevant policy areas, recognising that culture, heritage, sport and the visitor economy all play a strong role in supporting places and communities to thrive.
