Tricycle Theatre Funding

The Forward Plan for this month contains details of funding arrangements for the Tricycle Theatre.  I have long seen the Tricycle as being of key importance, especially to the Kilburn area.

By a historical quirk, the funding Brent Council gives to the Tricycle is simply on an annual basis.  Other grants that the Council gives, to the CAB for example, are done on a three yearly basis.  An annual grant makes the Tricycle's financial management much more difficult than it should be, so when I was Lead Member I suggested extending the period to the standard three years.  I am glad that this has finally got through works of the Council bureaucracy.
