  I will try one more please keep to the proposals on the table and keep me out of it this way we will move forward Thank you Proposal is (A) Close down the Art and Sports Unit making a saving of £3millon.
  
  The Arts Unit supports and develops the Arts in Kent,by providing grants to Arts organisations(net cost to KCC £2million)
  The Sports Unit supports and enables the people of Kent to fulfil their sporting potential,for example through the Kent School Games. The Unit also leads the Kent Campaign for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to ensure that Kent derives maximum benefit and long-term legacy(net cost£1.4millon.
  
  For the Proposal is =
  
  Some feel that those who want to get involved in these activities should organise and subsidise it themselfs.
  
  Some District Councils also support Arts Development in their areas, so support for the Arts across the County would not be completely removed.
  
  Some feel that Kent businesses should take the initiative to make the best of the Olympics for themselfs,rather than relying on local Authority support.
  
  Now for the Against.
  
  Removing financial support to Arts organisations would have a negative impact on the local Arts community and tourism to the area.
  
  Sports and Arts provide an opportunity for people to get involved and express themselfs in activities that they would otherwise not be able to.
  
  The units lever in significant funds and benefits for the county.
  
  Well that is what is on the table with this one.
