Comment about the lack of provision for arts and culture

I would like to comment about the limited mention of arts and cultural facilities within the Waterbeach SPD. There are slight references in passing on pages 39-40 but these go nowhere near to exploring the possibilities and opportunities a detailed arts policy can offer, both within the establishment of new communities and also in enriching the quality of life there-after. Waterbeach already has a diverse artistic community who through organising concerts, exhibition, film screenings and talks , [often with assistance from Urban and Civic,] have realised a local demand that can only grow once the village starts increasing in size and population.
