WEA Herne Bay Branch organised a guided walk along the seafront on Saturday 20th June to mark Adult Learners’ Week 2015. Free and open to all, the walk was an opportunity to learn more about historic buildings and places of interest, and to introduce the WEA to new participants and members of the public. It was led by Ken Hando, an ex-councillor and long time resident of Herne Bay with a special interest in local history.
Pre-construction Phase: top floor. This small office was full of old papers and other clutter that had to be cleared. Many of the walls had built-in noticeboards which had to be stripped off during the pre-construction phase.
After the refurbishment, this room will be the learning disability support team's office.

Here we are standing in the main reception, looking towards the library area. The floor is being prepared for concreting.
Pre-construction Phase: ground floor. All of the shelving and furniture has gone from the old children's library and the Morgan Sindall team are busy making the protective casing for the original features in the building, such as the oak banisters and doorframes.
This campaign is being led by the Workers' Educational Association - the UK's largest provider of voluntary adult education - for and on behalf of everyone involved in adult and community learning in the UK.
The Government is currently preparing its Spending Review for the next 5 years and adult education is under threat. All non-protected departments, including Business, Innovation and Skills which funds the WEA work, have been asked by the Chancellor to suggest cuts of 25% and 40%.
