Essential reading: Culture, sport and tourism
An essential ingredient for place making. How can communities and local government work together to make local life fun and enriching and attract visitors for economic development?
We have picked out a few items from our huge library of local government content that we hope will provide you with inspiration, ideas or just food for thought and make you want to delve deeper into the LGIU’s local government resources.
This page is part of LGIU’s resources for new councillors.
Cultural sector policy and research round-up Spring 2023
At the LGIU we have many types of briefings (but you’ll have to be from a member council/organisation to read them). Round-ups group together the latest developments – consultations, research, guidance – in a particular topic area. This is a recent edition of our culture round-up. Read the full round-up.
Backgrounder: Cultural Services
Sometimes you just want to know the essentials – the background to a subject – either because you are fairly new to it or you need a bit of a refresher. LGIU’s backgrounders give you that and this one focuses on cultural services from a local government perspective. Read the backgrounder.
Global Local: Museums and local history
Have you discovered our Global Local bulletin? Each week we take a theme and bring you stories, ideas and inspiration from local government and its partners around the world. This edition looked at the role of local museums in reflecting the history of a community as well as how they’re supporting communities. Read this edition of Global Local.
