Essex was the first County Council to develop and adopt the principle of a public art policy in the late 1980s and the first to receive an RSA Art & Architecture Award. The approach has been enshrined in the policy with ECC making its first Cabinet decision in 2002 allocating up to 1% of the Capital Programme for public art in relation to the 2004/5 capital programme. Approval has now been granted to switch to a central budgeting process resulting in a Public Art common Fund.
