Leisure and Culture
Cultural provision is very important to Sandwell Council. We know that it improves the quality of life for people in the Borough our annual residents survey tells us this. We are developing and improving provision on a daily basis and want to make sure that cultural facilities and opportunities are at the heart of each of our towns. Take a look at what we deliver from the left hand menu.
We also work with a number of partnership organisations, links to which can be found throughout the site.
