The Theatre Chipping NortonThe Theatre Chipping Norton � withdrawal of Arts Council fundingWest Oxfordshire District Council Leader, Cllr Barry Norton said �It is clear that the Arts Council have taken absolutely no notice of the very strong case we put up for them to continue funding The Theatre Chipping Norton and I am deeply disappointed. �It is ludicrous for the Arts Council to say, as they do, that the theatre 'does not generate a regional or national impact' as this statement completely contradicts the stated view of their own Performing Arts Officer. �We have unquestionable proof not only that the theatre has an impact across a large region of central England but also that it serves an area which is among the worst 10 per cent in England for access to local services.� �The Arts Council's decision is yet another kick in the teeth for rural communities already facing the prospect of more Post Office and Health Service cuts this year. �The Theatre Chipping Norton is a thriving organisation and we will do all we can to help them find alternative forms of funding so they can continue the excellent work they do in the community.� Posted : 01/02/2008 18:34:35 PLEASE NOTE: This story has been archived and the information contained within it may no longer be correct.
