Letter: Labour's support for the arts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: It should be applauded that the Labour Party is the only political party ever to publish a policy statement on architecture and urban design, in 1992.
Since then Labour has consulted widely on its policy in a series of seminars, and is currently holding detailed meetings with architects, planners and others to discuss the guidelines which will help all departments of an incoming Labour government become good clients, commissioning well-designed public buildings and spaces and getting value for money by backing the great design talent in this country.
