The old village of Great Wakering has a long history going back a 1000 years.  It's about time we had our own Heritage Centre much like the one on Foulness Island. 

A heritage centre or museum is a public facility – typically a museum or visitor centre that is primarily dedicated to the presentation of historical and cultural information about a Great Wakering and its people, and often also including, to some degree, the area's natural history.

There's an appropriate unused house attached the Community Centre in the village.  It would ideal for a Heritage Centre. In fact the house is part of the village heritage. There could be no better place.

The purpose of this petition is to show Great Wakering and Rochford Council's there is indeed a requirement and interest from the villagers to create said Heritage Centre.

Please throw your support behind this petition. Come Wakeringners, we can do this. We just need the Council to get onboard.
