This report considers a proposal to move
Rochester library into the Dickens Centre Complex in order to offer
a high street location and develop a writing and literacy
centre.
The Cabinet agreed to move Rochester Library
to the Dickens Complex and the development of a Writing and
Literacy Centre with work to commence on 1 November 2004 and
recommended to Council to provide the required additional
investment of £130,150.
The Cabinet agreed to instruct officers to undertake full public
consultation with immediate effect.
The Cabinet agreed the Overview and Scrutiny recommendation as set
out in paragraph 4.4, and instructed officers to undertake a wider
review of Council owned premises in Rochester.
The Cabinet agreed that the Portfolio Holder for Leisure and
Culture be consulted on the development and be informed of progress
at all times.
The move will ensure that Rochester Library is
compliant with the DDA and will mean the library is accessible from
the High Street.
