Preparations for a stone by stone survey of Canterbury Castle have begun with scaffolding being placed around the historic walls of the castle keep.
The city council has ambitious plans to bring the castle back into public use as part of its Levelling Up Fund project, and the survey is the first key piece of the jigsaw.

The results will reveal the current condition of the walls and be used as the basis for the conservation work that is anticipated to take place in the second half of 2024, subject to the council securing a contractor to carry it out.
Once the work is complete, the site will be safe for residents and visitors to enjoy once again, with improved access to both the castle and its grounds.
