P-03-314 Save Theatre Powys & Mid Powys Youth Theatre

Petition wording

Following on from the Arts Council of Wales decision to remove revenue funding from Theatre Powys from April 2011, we the undersigned call on the National Assembly for Wales to ensure Powys County Council funding is retained for Theatre Powys and MPYT. Failure to achieve this will result in the removal of both these provisions from the communities they’ve served for three decades; depriving young people of a significant opportunity to engage with the Arts. Mid Powys Youth Theatre is also one of a very small number of pastoral activities open to the youth of this area.
