Chloe on City of Culture Bid

Commenting on the news that Norwich has made it onto the City of Culture shortlist, Chloe Smith, MP for Norwich North, said:

"This is great news. I am absolutely delighted for our city to have been so successful so far in this contest. We are a vibrant city with longstanding cultural prominence - in our theatres, music, independent cinema, visual arts, architecture, open spaces and so much more. We are a thriving city which people love living in. We are going from strength to strength as the heart of the Norfolk and regional economy. If we won this accolade we would do the country proud as the next City of Culture. I congratulate City Hall and its partners on this inspiring achievement so far."
