In June 2021, Truro was awarded £23.6 million from the Government's £3.6 billion Towns Fund to bring a step-change in how we live, work and enjoy Truro. This money will help to future proof Truro whilst celebrating its unique character. A Truro Town Deal Board was created to oversee the development of a Town Improvement Plan (see About Truro Town Fund | Truro Town Deal and Truro-Town-Investment-Plan_010221.pdf (trurotownfund.com)) which details the projects that would be delivered as part of the Town Deal. The overall vision of the Truro Town Deal is that "By 2030, Truro will be a 'Connected River City' worthy of being Cornwall's capital and fulfilling its potential as a modern economic, social, environmental and cultural capital for Truro residents and the wider Cornwall community". One of the projects supported by the Truro Town Deal is the reimagining of Lemon Quay which is a large public space in the centre of Truro that is owned by Cornwall Council but managed under licence by Truro City Council. Whilst the Town Improvement Plan envisaged the construction of a permanent covered area on Lemon Quay this has not been possible to deliver but the works relating to new furniture and landscaping that will create green space at the heart of the city adding to Truro's appeal as a vibrant city and complementing the retail offer is going ahead and will be complete by the end of December 2025. The redevelopment of Lemon Quay is being led by Cornwall Council and whilst the majority of the scheme relates to capital works to improve the public realm areas of Lemon Quay (e.g. investment in improved landscaping, seats, trees, planters, ducts for power cables to reduce trip hazards and a Changing Places facility in the existing toilets) it also includes funding to encourage the increased use of Lemon Quay especially outside the core summer holiday season. This aspect of the project is being led by Truro City Council. In order to apply please submit your proposal to [email protected] by 1200 noon on the closing date.

Review of Certain Regulatory Policies For Online Audiovisual Services

Some major English-speaking territories (e.g., Australia, Canada, New Zealand) and many European countries (e.g. Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain) have brought in, are introducing or are considering regulation of online audiovisual services, mainly Video on Demand (VOD) but sometimes also Video Sharing Platforms (VSPs), with the aim to support their national screen industries, especially independent sectors. The measures include investment obligations, levies, rules around rights retention as well as quotas. Within the European Union and the European Economic Area, such interventions are governed by the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD). Ahead of the ex-post evaluation of the AVMSD due from the European Commission by December 2026, there is already debate around the current set of interventions that are allowed by the AVMSD and some EU stakeholders will be pushing for revisions to the AVMSD interventions (these might include, e.g. investment obligations, levies, quotas and rights retention as well as whether these parts of the Directive should be extended to VSPs). There are some research reports providing either an overarching view of policy options and drivers in this sphere (such as Film i Väst reports) or a limited release of early data (as in the case of the Centre National du Cinéma et de l'image Animée (CNC)), but there is no comprehensive analysis of either the rationale for these measures or their initial impacts on the health of the wider screen ecosystem in the respective territories. The principal focus of this research is the impact of regulation of online services, including VOD (both Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) and Ad-supported Video on Demand (AVOD) platforms), and video sharing platforms such as YouTube and TikTok where relevant. For each country studied, we want to understand the impacts on the audiovisual ecosystem as a whole, and local independent film and TV production in particular (as strengthening the latter is often the objective of such interventions), audiences and cultural diversity. The study should also include a counterfactual which considers these impacts in a territory (outside the UK) in which such measures have not been introduced. Additional information: To take part in this tender, please visit our website, at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/bfi/aspx/Tenders/Current , where you will need to register, if you haven't already, and express an interest in this opportunity to access the relevant documents. Please note expressions of interest will only be accepted via the portal. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
