P-05-1006 Release the £59 million to the arts to prevent local grassroots music venues from closure

This petition was submitted by Neil Bates having collected a total of 100 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

Many of the arts and entertainment venues face closure shortly. Unless the Welsh Government start organising support with immediate effect by distributing the £59 million pounds it has for the industry then many venues will close.

Additional Information

Sadly entertainment and the arts appear to be bottom of the priorities with the Welsh Government. Very little discussion is taking place and the lack of information is only adding to the problem.

Please support the entertainment industry by signing this petition before yet another vital industry is lost in your area and more people face unemployment. It's time for the Welsh Government to show support.
