✅support: Point 2h - complement the vitality of the historic centre with a new cultural hub in the S/PRIA/Eastern Gate:: With reference to S/PRIA/EG and the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) cultural hub project, I support proposals that seek public realm improvements and regenerate for use the empty spaces underneath the Elizabeth bridge and underpasses, for use as a cultural/creative, urban sports and community hub. This could diversify local cultural offerings and facilitate affordable, creative workspaces as well as promote a new urban identity for this currently neglected 70s site. Improvements of the adjacent public realm would seek public engagement with urban sports and recreation and link these offerings with existing and desired pedestrian and cyclist movements, between the wards and along the river promenade, linking back to the centre.

✅support: Point 2j - spontaneous/artistic community engagement: With reference to S/PRIA/EG and the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) cultural hub project, I support a cultural hub which adopts external spaces attached
for an active, outdoors programme and spontaneous public engagement. The Underpass project has already shown that an existing space can be re-imagined with active cultural engagement. This has worked well with artists seeking an urban venue or vessel for various installations, as an alternative to programmed spaces. Creative expression and engagement can be in the form of physical, audio, visual, digital, theatre or other modes of engagement for public events.

✅support: Point 2k - criteria k cultural offerings: With reference to S/PRIA/EG and the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) cultural hub project, research into demand for offerings should coordinate efforts with the council and the wider creative community active in Cambridge. Early feedback indicates a need for affordable, flexible and large cultural spaces which are not subject to market economical constraints.

✅support: Point 2 l - criteria l cultural hub Management strategy: With reference to S/PRIA/EG and the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) cultural hub project, I strongly support proposals that seek out commercial and community uses compatible with sustainable development and operations of a cultural/creative hub. Proposals should complement the nature and style of the 70s concrete infrastructure and programmes should support new cultural provisions on the basis of market research and demand. A vision statement is required to identify early ambitions and long term operational viability of the venture.
