Have your say on Eastgate House plans

Medway Council is giving residents the chance to have their say about the future conservation of Eastgate House, Rochester.

The historic building was awarded a first round development grant of £80,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund last year, which has helped progress plans to repair and transform the house into a fantastic exhibition and community space.

In September the council will move on to the second stage of the lottery application process and submit more detailed plans for a full grant of just under £1m. 

A Conservation Management Plan has been written which proposes policies for future works and management of the house.  It will now form an essential part of the grant request to Heritage Lottery Fund to help conserve the building and tell the stories of those who lived and worked there over 400 years.

Copies of the plan can be obtained by emailing [email protected]

Alternatively copies are available to view at the reception desk at all of Medway's libraries.

Residents have until 12noon on Monday, 13 August to contact the council and share their views on the policies proposed.  

Comments should be sent by email to the address above or sent by mail to Leanne Fisher, Gun Wharf, Dock Road, Chatham, ME4 4TR.
