A new body has been set up to ensure Capital of Culture has a lasting legacy in Liverpool, Cultural Collective, will look to build on the successes of this year. The small independent body headed by The Culture Company's creative director Phil Redmond, will not fund events but make sure arts organisations across the city continue to work together It is hoped the collective's work, which is expected to run for three to five years, will be funded by the North West Development Agency. On a different note Liverpool City Council's Executive Board is also to consider plans to maintain arts funding in the region of £4.1m per annum for the next two years.
