This survey is to inform Uttlesford District Council’s Baseline Assessment of Culture, Creativity and the Arts. It is being undertaken in partnership with the Cultural Engine. The survey will help the Council to identify the venues, practitioners and resources that already exist; highlight any gaps in cultural or arts provision, now or in the future; and identify any need for support and investment. The survey should only take around 8 minutes

This Baseline Assessment is part of the Council’s Local Plan process. You can find more information on the Local Plan on the Council’s ‘New Local Plan’ website - Link
