Posted at 8:05AM Thursday 07 Mar 2013

Newcastle City Council has agreed not to go through with a plan to cut all arts funding, but money available to cultural venues will still drop by 50%.

The council was to scrap its £1.2m arts grants as part of £100m of savings.

Setting its budget on Wednesday, the council confirmed that the grants would be replaced by a new £600,000 fund.
