4. Public Participation
i. The following question was submitted by email by a member of the public: “Last autumn the Town Council put out a tender for an artist to create a festive themed shop window trail. Can you tell me why this project was abandoned and were any monies paid out to the artist?” The following response was given: In October 2021 as part of the planning for the Christmas programme we advertised an artist opportunity to develop and deliver a Christmas trail activity in Crewe Town for Crewe based artists via our website, social media, and the Crewe Cultural Forum. Only one artist applied, given the timeline we were unable to re advertise the opportunity and therefore did not move ahead with the activity. No artist was contracted or payment awarded.
