Medway Heritage Asset Audit

Medway Council are running a heritage asset audit: Medway Heritage Asset Audit – RMR Website

The information about heritage assets will be used in a Heritage Asset Database shared with Medway Council, supporting a new Heritage Strategy. In the future, a group may be created to manage that Strategy. Information about assets will be shared on a Heritage Asset Map for Medway. This will be shared with everyone who wants to find out more about heritage in the area.

Medway are asking people who know about heritage assets to fill in our online form to capture as much information as possible. Heritage assets can range from stories and recipes, to photos, documents, buildings, bridges and natural environment. 

We don’t define heritage. We ask you to tell us what you think is important and should be preserved… heritage can be anything from the past that you value and want to pass on to future generations.

We are reaching out to people with links to the heritage sector in Medway, either in a voluntary or paid capacity.

To tell us about your Heritage Asset, go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medwayheritageassets
