There is a shocking absence of visual and contemporary arts. am finding myself travelling to Bury, Cambridge and most usually Norwich for any whiff of contemporary arts. When the gallery was sadly taken from the college and eventually became a gallery - people thought, oh well, at least there would be life here. But having shows last 10 months, having a sterile silence and utter lack of challenging arts and visual work is sad. Support a growing arts and music centre and WET arts studios hubs! They DO bring in revenue!

We all here passionately believe that design and style can bring people to a town and ALSO bring people down, the terrible new redesign of the back of the tower ramparts proves that. Maintaining our heritage and trying best to keep old buildings bring them back to life or utilise whilst empty is paramount - but we only need look to some of the greatest venues or clubs to understand that you can also bring energetic life to a place. There's a wealth of good creativity here in this town that seem to be underused.

Keep the wine rack as a monument - a piece of sculpture somehow it speaks for our time?

Great questions - so we pay NO heed really to the strength of the heritage - maybe a stronger trail? Arts / murals - to support this (look to the mission or other areas in san fran to see how tourists love a good bit of street art! I was in east London Saturday and saw 7 groups of TOURS of street art1) could be celebrate our writers, artists, merchants in a more innovative way?)

The youth we work with in Chantry, Westgate ward in particular are desperate for some youth spaces. Making them bright light and safe - particularly in jubilee area - that would be fantastic. I went down tonight and there were about 60 young people in the dark, in a broken up basketball court. What a treat to make it bright and safe (and keep the dealers out!).

There is a good mix - but many of the young people simply can not afford to swim - they really want to do this - can there be a better deal - i.e. cheap day swims etc.?

Emerging communities are not understanding advice / letters / appointments, missing them and then losing all rights to attend dentist etc. - the repercussions we are seeing - terrible teeth and no glasses for kids - supporting this and encouraging a campaign to support all people to understand how the systems work. ICM / SRS can help

We want the arts, creativity and real grass roots opportunities. We would like to see equal chances to access the arts - as 100% of our young people are not attending any of the Wolsey young theatre groups - but have got seismic skills. Dance east are being fantastic at supporting us now - and we are all seeing the benefits, including community cohesion.
