Image source, ReutersComposer Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber said one county's "extremely short-sighted" plan to cut arts funding by 100% would leave towns "emptier".
In January, Suffolk County Council announced plans to cut £65 million from its budget, including ending £500,000 of funding for arts and museums.
Lord Lloyd Webber said the planned cuts were "very concerning". and would harm the local economy.
The council said the cuts were necessary to support care services.
