Closes 9 Nov 2026

Overview

Ards and North Down Borough Council is developing a new Integrated Arts and Heritage Strategy Action Plan for 2027-2030.

The draft Action Plan has been informed by a review of the previous Integrated Arts and Heritage Development Strategy (IAHDS) 2018-2023 - Ards and North Down Borough Council and the achievements delivered during that period.

It sets out proposed actions for 2027-2030 that aim to strengthen the role of arts and heritage in supporting thriving communities, lifelong learning, wellbeing, inclusion, economic development, tourism and place-making across the Borough.

We are seeking views from residents, artists, performers, heritage organisations, community groups, cultural organisations, businesses and other stakeholders to help shape the final Action Plan.

The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

All responses will be considered before the final Action Plan is prepared.
