Creative High Streets

The South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) and Arts Council England have joined forces to provide guidance on the clear, decisive action that can be taken by the cultural and creative sector to breathe new life into our high streets and kickstart a whole new economy for towns.

Ahead of the publication of the report, Creative High Streets, SELEP, Arts Council England and We Made That hosted a webinar on Wednesday 2nd February 2022 to give insight into how this report provides a clear roadmap and practical guidance for any town in the South East, and spoke to partners on how they can utilise the creative offering in their area to drive communities back onto the high streets.

Attendees heard from each of these organisations and how this work plays into their strategic direction for the years ahead. We also heard from several businesses in the South East who are featured in the report, to find out how this roadmap has already helped their business ventures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
