Minister Outlines Cultural Legacy Plan For L'Derry
A three-year legacy plan for Derry~Londonderry as it nears the end of its years as the UK City og Culture has been revealed.
Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín revealed that over £2 million has been approved for legacy projects, saying that her department had "learnt a lot" from the city's time as the Culture Capitol.
She said: "As we move forward into 2014, I want to widen the focus out from Derry to Strabane, Limavady and Coleraine including co-operation with Donegal."
"With the new councils being established in 2015, it makes sense that all of the north west region benefits."
Ms Ní Chuilín said she would set up a "company limited by guarantee" to deliver City of Culture legacy programmes and activities.
"I will also set up a Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) north west office to help the new body become established," she said.
"I will fund neighbourhood renewal areas to support the delivery of cultural strategies.
"I also want a feasibility study to be undertaken to consider venues for cultural hubs across the region.
"I have approved funding for the purchase of a mobile marquee which will enable deprived communities to host events such as the hugely popular tea dances."
