Culture will be at city's heart after failed bid

|Express and Echo
EXETER has missed out on the chance to be named UK City of Culture 2029.
-
Exeter will not be the UK City of Culture in 2029
The city has not been included on a longlist of nine locations which will now vie for the title and £10 million of funding.
Plymouth also failed to make the list, as did Bristol, Carlisle, Herefordshire, Isle of Thanet, Peterborough and Reading.
The Department of Culture, Media and Sport longlisted Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Blackpool, Inverness-Highland, Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Swindon, Wrexham and Portsmouth. They will each receive £60,000 to develop a full bid.
