Agenda item

That Chairman has requested that the Committee gives consideration to a Community Piano http://www.streetpianos.com/ Further information will be given at the meeting.

The Chair presented members with the idea of a Community Piano which has proved popular and successful in other parts of the country. The piano could be weatherproofed, hopefully decorated by Witney and Abingdon College if they agreed, and sited in an area of the town once the necessary permissions were obtained. Although there were some concerns regarding vandalism, taking into account there would be very limited costs to the council, the committee welcomed the proposal.

RECOMMENDED:             that Officers contact Witney and Abingdon College’s Arts Department, and the Woolgate Centre regarding the potential siting of the piano.
