Tory BDR is bad news for Arts, Music and Museums
February 16, 2006 8:56 AM
Cuts will mean higher fees for music lessons, already well above average
The Tories' Business Delivery Review (BDR) will hit Surrey Arts, Music and Museums. Surrey County Arts currently provides 278,000 music lessons annually. However, tuition fees in Surrey are already 30% higher than the national average. Some 42% of local authorities do not charge any tuition fees.
The BDR will hit this service hard. The proposals, if approved by the Council, will mean:
- increased tuition fees
- a reduced number of music ensembles
- the closure of a music centre.
Museums too will suffer significantly reduced funding under the Tory BDR proposals. This includes the Surrey History Centre, where the reduction in funding may seriously affect the quality of the service.
