Bradford UK City of Culture

Motion Text

That this House notes that January 2025 begins Bradford's year as UK City of Culture; recognises the many artistic and cultural events that take place to help promote each winner of the title since Londonderry became the first UK city to win the award in 2013; and expresses the hope that as the year progresses lessons from previous years can be learnt so that at the close of the year communities throughout the city see benefits that extend beyond the year itself.
