Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report 2023 Event Summary and 2024 Memorial Lighting Calendar.

 

This report provided an overview of the Council’s 2023 Events Programme, including community led events and street parties which had been delivered by third parties on Council land. Despite the challenges of unpredictable weather and rising costs of delivery, the Council’s biggest event, Stockton International Riverside Festival (SIRF) received very positive feedback in the independent market research, with 90% believing it to be good for promoting the area and a good use of Council resources.

 

In addition, the report provided the suggested calendar for memorial lighting for 2024.

 

RESOLVED that:-

 

1. The success of events programme during 2023 be noted.

 

2. The memorial lighting calendar for 2024 be approved.

 

3. Delegated authority be given to the Director of Community Services, Environment and Culture in consultation with the Leader of the Council to make in year amendments or additions to the lighting calendar.
