Merger for music service could be explored
Huw Oxburgh
Local Democracy Reporter
East Sussex's music instrumental service could be outsourced as the county council looks to explore sustainable long-term solutions for its future.
Earlier this year the authority consulted on plans which could have seen individual and group lessons at schools axed due to a budget shortfall.
This provoked a storm of protest with more than 12,000 people signing a petition opposing the closure of the service.
During the public consultation extra savings were identified to balance the budget meaning the music instrumental service has been spared from the axe.
But due to future financial uncertainty the county council is exploring alternative business models to ensure the long-term viability of the service.
According to a report: "The number of people who provided feedback ... has demonstrated the degree to which the music service is valued.
"Through the public consultation we have been able to find a positive way forward and it is hoped that we are now able to re-build trust and confidence in what we believe is a very exciting and financially sustainable future."
