National Indicator Set
In June 2008, local authorities agreed Local Area Agreements (LAAs) with Government and their partners. The LAAs include targets to improve public services and the quality of life for people living and working in the area. Local authorities chose 35 targets from a possible 198 in the National Indicator Set.
DCMS has four National Indicators (NIs) within the set of 198:
NI 8 Participation in sport and active recreation
NI 9 Use of public libraries
NI 10 Visits to museums and galleries
NI 11 Engagement in the arts
This report presents baseline estimates for those local authorities that selected one or more of the cultural National Indicators, 9, 10 and 11. Data are based on interviews conducted between April 2008 and October 2008. This is the first time comparable data on cultural engagement at the local level have been collected and published.
The report is accompanied by a workbook containing baseline estimates for each of the three cultural indicators for every upper-tier local authority in England.
Interim progress will be available in December 2009, using data collected between October 2008 and October 2009. Final progress will be assessed in December 2010, using data collected between October 2009 and October 2010.
