Johnson outlines priorities for culture in the capital
London Mayor Boris Johnson has outlined plans for culture in the capital in the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games.
Mr Johnson will pledge to increase access to the arts for people living in London's outer boroughs, improve music and art education, cut red tape for arts organisations and boost support for grassroots talent.
Cultural Metropolis - The Mayor's Priorities for Culture 2009-2012, also reveals plans for The Story of London, a major celebration of the city's people, its past, present, and future, which will take place across the capital in June 2009.
