This building is a huge part of the Guildhall Museum, providing
not just home to thousands of important objects and paintings, but
a fully alarmed storage facility which the museum needs to keep
precious and dangerous objects safe. It also has a highly used and
much needed fully accessible learning space, with flat access from
the street for all.
It houses a highly visited Dickens display, which is a huge draw
for tourists and locals looking to learn more about our most famous
author.
The building is a vital part of grant-funded education programmes
for 2018/19/20 which would be put at risk if the building were to
close.
Local residents have been shocked to hear of plans to close this
building, many claiming to have had no knowledge of this
decision.
We, the people of Medway, feel that closing this building is not a
decision the council can make without entering into a full and
drank discussion with us, the taxpayers and users of these
facilities.
We ask this to be discussed in an open forum, where everyone can
put forward their views.
