It would be a disgrace if all the money spent on restoring this wonderful building was in effect wasted

This is a great museum! I was fortunate enough to visit it during my stay abroad while studying in Canterbury.

Preservation of material and information which records the past is vital in this digital age plus the help and advice of relevant professionals.

This building lends itself ideally to a Museum not a Performing Arts centre. The Council own The Marlowe Theatre why not use that for their intended purpose? If the Council insist on using this site for Youth activities then perhaps they could allocate us another building for historical use.?

This closure is a retrograde step.

The Heritage museum is an essential and important local educational resource with unique material, much of it of particular interest to children.

Our history is very important. People visit Canterbury because of it and we really need to keep these assets alive

As an English Literature teacher, I really do hope the Canterbury Heritage Museum won't close

I fear that the closing of the Museum would be the first step towards the Council selling the building. The Museum should instead pass to a group which has the necessary commitment to maintain it as an asset for the community.

Canterbury is such an important heritage centre and this cultural heritage underpins its economy as well as its character. Rather than closing the museum ways should be found to enhance its attractiveness and it should be FREE so that it can make a real contribution to the cultural, educational and [yes, as a free museum] economic vitality of the city.

Please do not close this beautiful building. It will be such a loss not only now, but for future generations.

Such a valuable institution should not be closed, it is something which Canterbury should be proud to maintain

Local Authorities cannot retreat in to administrators of nothing. The present financial position is Government made, is not inevitable, and policy must change. This closure is another example of utter philistinism posing as necessity. It isn't.
