We are supporting the Creative Estuary team and partners to identify the best way to secure buildings for the creative sector in Essex and Kent
The Thames Estuary is backed by Government as the UK’s biggest growth opportunity. With the potential to create 1.5 million jobs and add value of up to £115bn to the nation’s economy, iti it integral to growth and recovery post-Brexit and post-Covid. Creative Estuary is part of the Government endorsed Thames Estuary Production Corridor (TEPC) project, initiated by the South East Creative Economy Network and Greater London Authority.
Creative Estuary is a consortium of public sector and cultural organisations, working together to transform 60 miles of the Thames Estuary across Essex and Kent into one of the most exciting cultural hubs in the world. By using culture as the catalyst for growth, the Thames Estuary will provide much-needed space for expanding creative businesses and provide the scale of services, skills and infrastructure sought by both UK organisations and international creative producers.
To give cultural industries room to grow, to innovate and to breathe across the Thames Estuary Creative Estuary are keen to provide the right physical spaces for creative communities and cultural partners. Our work to assess options to create support structures for bringing workspace into long-term use by the creative sector will form part of their work to address this need.
