St Helens 150 celebrations - impact

St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council did not have the information requested.

Dear St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council,

In 2018 the St Helens 150 celebrations took place. Your partner in delivering the events, The Heart of Glass, recently stated the following

"Over 60,000 people have taken part in events across the year"

1 please provide a breakdown of this number by event, activity, exhibition etc that took place

2. What method / methodology was used to "de-dupe" the data i.e. Where person A might attend more than one event or activity how has it ensured that they are only counted once as a person who took part across the year?

Yours faithfully,

mike ashworth

Dear St.Helens Council,

Thankyou. I shall route my FOI to Arts Counci England who provided £1.5m of the funding for St Helens 150 celebrations. Its interesting that the Council, who provided £500,000 of funding for the celebrations do not have access to this information.

Yours sincerely,
