Culture and Recreation

Cultural services have a positive impact on quality of life, and learning. The first three indicators look at the usage of the Willis and Milestones museums, which are supported by the Council. The final indicator looks at the designation of conservation areas, which protect the architectural, historic or special character of an area.
