At a meeting of Lancashire All Party Parliamentary Group, on Tuesday 13th July, Lancashire’s MPs and members of the House of Lords discussed suggestions that Lancashire County Council may step back from submitting a county wide City of Culture bid.
David Morris MP, chair of the APPG, said: “We believe the bid offers the chance to win substantial economic returns for the county and further develop our cultural offer. For what is a relatively small investment, we believe returns can be as high as £300 million. Even if we are unsuccessful, the whole process will have helped build unity across the county and further strengthen our cultural ties.”
Ele continuou:“ Eu encomendei a Biblioteca da Câmara dos Comuns para produzir uma nota de pesquisa sobre esse assunto e isso mostra claramente que nenhuma decisão final foi tomada pelo Conselho do Condado de Lancashire e que as localidades de sucesso obtiveram significativamente com a se tornar uma cidade da cultura. We realise there has been some doubts about the value of the bidding process, and I can understand that, but on balance, we are of the view that Lancashire is better off trying to win this important initiative than not.”

Também achamos que nosso município está bem posicionado para ter uma oferta bem -sucedida, e esse pode ser exatamente o tipo de impulsionar que nossas comunidades precisam após a pandemia. É uma ótima chance de reunir todos e celebrar o que há de melhor em nosso condado. ”
David finally stated: “Lancashire County Council are right to watch every penny they spend, that is good governance, but the bid is already well underway, and they have already committed £620,000 to the initiative so in many ways, it’s too late to pull back. We also think our County is well placed to have a successful bid, and this could be exactly the sort of boost our communities need after the pandemic. It’s a really great chance to bring everyone together and celebrate what’s best about our County.”
